We are selling one of our R&D / Prototyping Vehicles to make room for our next project. This car was purchased in San Diego CA 8 years ago from the second owner. We rebuilt the car stressing on reliability so that we could use it as a test platform for suspension components. This car drives and handles better than just about anything you can buy new on the lot and certainly has a lot more style. The engine and transmission have about 55k miles on them since rebuilding back in 2008. We loved the patina look to the car and decided to style it as a 1960’s Compact Series NASCAR that these cars were known to dominate in the early 60’s with their Slant Six engines against the Corvairs and Falcons. The car is amazingly straight with zero rust. This car would need MINIMAL prep for paint, and would need ZERO rust repair. Floor boards and all fenders/roof/deck lid are all 100% original and rust free. I cannot over emphasize how good of condition this chassis is in; it has been a very pleasant and drama free car to work on. It has zero leaks and is currently serving duties as daily driver for the shops’ employees. Everything removed from the car such as bright work, stereo or panels has been kept and boxed and will move with the car, as we will have no need for it. We will not be looking to part out this car or sell the take-offs. The only missing pieces is one of the headlight trim halos as well as the larger piece on the passenger door that can be seen missing in one of the pictures. We also have an Offenhouser 4bbl Manifold and “race” head to go with the car. This is a well sorted car that just needs Interior and paint if desired. Heater/ Wipers and all lights/electrical work. Seats were recovered about 5 years ago and the gauges were professionally restored by Redline Gaugeworks about 4 years ago.
