History
Don’t know much about history. Wasn’t that a song? Would love to find whoever restored her.
Dealer said he bought her in Arizona.
Update: This vehicle was entered in the 2019 Chevy Showdown in Tucson, AZ and got 2nd place.
The sponsoring car club Pres was only able to give me the owner's name.
Update 2023: Holley Sniper EFI w/ conversion fuel tank installed, CVF serpentine system installed, Classic Auto A/C installed, and custom audio system w/ Apple Car Play, and backup camera installed. Installed Craftec tonneau cover.
