History
I bought the car in 1996 ($5,500) with a 327 Chev and TH350 and it was my daily driver, complete with kids seats when they came along. It was so low that the exhaust rubbed through in several spots, the interior was well used and in need of some attention but i loved it. The poor thing copped all of my teenage abuse but handled it well until it was stolen. When I got the car back the thieves had taken a lobe off the cam, spun a bearing and bent the diff, but there was no panel damage. I did a quick engine build and had the car ready to use in our wedding.
A few years after that, the car was, parked up for about 15 years while i bought a house and had a couple more kids. In 2013 I stripped the car in my shed for a tidy up. It kind of got out of hand. Five years later I had completely rebuilt every aspect of the car. Full bare metal paint, new chrome, custom interior, wheels, suspension and drive line.
