Exterior
From its toothy grille that floats between a small upper bumper and lower large bumper complete with rubber tipped "Dagmars", to the belt line swoop spear that makes a downward turn on the rear quarter panel, this restoration is truly the definition of the term "buttoned up." Dual rocket style hood embellishments are fronting curved gentle tubes that are on either side of the hood. These run back toward the windshield where they die into the hood. Very nice (just like the bumpers and trim) chromed headlight bezels frame the single headlights, and nice chromed side view mirrors, door handles, and window trim all chromed are all good. Continuing rearward, we see an off shoot of the downward sloping spear, that also runs to the rear of the car, and borders a horizontally ribbed aluminum panel with a gold Bel Air badge in your grandmother's handwriting, and cloisonn Chevrolet bowtie badge. We need to talk about the straight steel panels all around, with fair minded gaps, and covered in Sierra Gold paint. A beige canvas convertible top is the glitter if you will and is in nearly new condition. 15-inch wheels have been put on to accommodate the now front disc brakes. These are covered with polished Dodge Lancer hub caps.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we see copper vinyl with embossed circle pattern mixed with light cream strips making up the clean door panel. Cranks and levers are very good as is armrest. Looking inside a very clean split bench with more of the cream tuck and roll vinyl and copper inserts. Just to show off cream buttons have been added to the setbacks. The rear bench follows form of the front seats. The dash is showroom with copper painted top dash, cream instrument cluster, steering column and steering wheel courtesy of a '59 Impala, all pristine. An aluminum band with a mini square pattern adds an accent strip to the dash and houses various knobs and a vintage looking radio. Copper colored clean thick pile carpet floods the floors and has some light tan protective floor mats on top.
Drivetrain
Automotive mechanical jewelry could best describe this dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and intake setup, which tops a 350ci V8 crate motor. This engine sports Corvette valve covers, an orange block, and all neatly polished and painted accessories. Supple hoses and steel headers are all present and accounted for. On back is a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission, and way back a 3.55 axle
Undercarriage
The frame off restoration has left the undercarriage simply beautiful looking absolutely right out of the showroom. Copper floorpans and pristine copper rockers are mounted securely to a jet black straight rust free frame. Dual stainless exhaust from Borla is like new, worms it's way back past all this finery. Front disc brakes have been put on, and the rears remain drums. Rack and pinion steering and independent coil spring front suspension and leaf spring rear suspension are all clean and pristine.
