History
Originally belonged to my Dad , who bought it from this lady that wanted to get rid of her late husbands junk car for $500 (again). Well the inside was gutted and the only thing that worked on the car was this 350 with a low rise intake and Edelbrock carb. Well , we got it running and my Dad drove it for about a year and then he was in a 6 car pill up on the interstate. God rest his soul my Dad passed in June 2015 and I received the car by inheritance. Now it had been sitting for 3 years in the Texas sun in the country and when I went to go see it I was going to trash it cause it was beaten. But I made a promise to my Dad to restore it and make it what I always had visioned . There was times I actually cried cause of the frustration I went through but out of love for my Dad I stuck it out.
