History
Original owner blew up the motor, (ran it without oil). He traded it to my grandfather for a motorcycle in the mid 80s. My grandfather owned Racetrack Cycles in Ft Walton Beach Florida. He used the car as a shop truck for many years and hauled a bunch of old stand up Jet Skis in the back. After retiring, Gramboy let my father use the car for hauling trash and whatnot. It sat unused for a few years in Florida before we put a third motor in and I drove it to live in NC.

Modifications
Drivetrain
Emissions equipment removed, manual carb. Nothing special for now.

Damn near destroyed by Gramboy. Lots of sun damage so he got a new dash cover and used a brush to paint the rest bright blue! I have removed some of the bright blue or repainted a darker blue more like original.
Exterior
Some trim removed.
