I purchased the vehicle from my Grandfather in 1983 and it took me nearly 20 years to really get started on it. When I got it running in 2003 it was the first time it had seen the road since 1967. It has a rebuilt small block Chevy with a 350 auto transmission. My sons and I did all of the work on the car except for the painting. It has new interior and sits on 15 inch American Racing "Hopster" wheels. I love the stance of the car much better.
