Back in the 80's Car Craft magazine use to do a show called the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals that I was always at. This car was at several of them through out the years in the Sacramento CA area. Kind of funny when it comes to all mods the guy did to the car. My plans are to just return the car back to how it was originally. Nice original sheet metal. There is no rust at all even the original vinyl top is super nice. Original drive train and a color combination that I really like, red on red with the white vinyl top and white bumble bee stripe. Last edited by biggE; 07/24/16 03:49 PM.
