    Man, I'd jump on that one in a heartbeat but then I'm real partial to 57's. Like posted above I like the posts as much as the hardtop, more hot rod vibe. Can't really tell from the pics but are those chrome reverse wheels (perfect) or the cheap multi lug with the caps?
    I'm all for preservation of nice originals but I'd have to ditch the crappy auto for a 5 speed if it were mine

    It has the original wheels with it but the chomies are repop ford style 15's, non multi lug. They look factory and are brand new.

    I love seeing cars from that era with a nice original paint...man why can't we make something that finishes like that...I mean that doesn't take thousands in new epuipment, er. very very cool car man...love the sound of those Y blocks thru hammer-tones.

    nice score!!! I got mine in December,and paid 5K for it.
    yours is much better shape than mine. And from what I have
    seen, a 3K car needs fenders, doors, floors 1/4s and engine,trans.

    mine is a driver... with 3 pedals... but only 6 pistons
