The story

Daily driver in summer. I purchased for $950 about 10 years ago and it was in pretty rough shape although it did have a pretty cool black racing stripe. Over the years have restored to present phase II condition with new paint, engine, transmission and rear end. Phase III when I have the money will be a total frame off resto with powder coat frame, new air suspension, new 383 EFI stroker, candy apple pearl paint, etc. — JezzerG
