The car most certainly has character. The body and paint show their age with small dings, minor fender bead damage and faded and chipped multiple layers of lacquer paint that has been spot primed with red oxide primer, and yet it still looks good. The 327 Chevy engine is as quiet as any I can remember; just a fantastic running engine. The rest of the running gear was the basic TH350, nine inch Ford, Posies parallel rear leaf setup, and straight axle front end that was popular for the sixties era. The ride we made in this car was a blast. I was very surprised at how tight the body was. As I mentioned earlier, this car has "true character"; a real "hot rod". Thanks for the ride Don.
