An outstanding and cruise ready little Hot Rod coupe. Expert built. Real 1960s style. New black carpet and seat upholstery is currently being installed. Removable top for summer! The sooner you contact me the better because I can't resist making changes to this fine car! The price is negotiable. I am a proud HAMB alliance member. A beautiful well built 1960s style highboy coupe. Everything on the car was built or rebuilt just 7500 miles ago. Engine has been completely rebuilt with many performance upgrades. Body – Replaced 100% of the wood. Body was chemically treated for rust. All issues found were fixed. Installed a used glass lid, actually the rumble seat type (hinged at bottom). ’32 radiator shell is steel with original type insert. Roof insert is Howell’s Sheetmetal, and is removable (not welded in). All new glass (grey tint). Laminate windshield (with new aluminum frame, swings out like stock), tempered glass for the rest. Reversed firewall. Cowl gas tank was gutted for easy under dash access to wiring etc. Cowl lights and gas filler cap were removed. Gas tank is a Tanks, Inc 16 gallon, now in the trunk, along with the Optima battery. Paint – Burgundy acrylic lacquer from TPC Global. Roof insert painted with pickup bed liner. Paint is just driver quality. Frame – Riley Automotive custom frame. The big block Olds torque is handled just fine. Frame is stepped 6” rear, swept 4” front. Engine – ’74 Olds 455, completely rebuilt 7.5k miles ago. 30 over, balanced together with flywheel. Offenhauser 2 x 4 intake, with 2 AFBs from ’65 Buick 425. Mild Crower hydraulic cam. Stock ignition except for Pertronix in distributor. Champion radiator, mechanical fan cools it well. Headers are custom fabricated with a Speedway kit, into 3.5” cutouts with internal baffles (Car Chemistry). Headers are ceramic coated beauties. Drivetrain – Stock Olds flywheel and pressure plate, Howe hydraulic throwout bearing, Wilwood master. M20 Muncie, recently gone through. Shifts great, synchros feel good. Hurst Comp Plus shifter was new when car was built. Driveshaft loop. 9” Ford, 3.25, with TracLock. Suspension – Pete & Jakes 4” drop front axle, with P&J hairpins, superslide reversed eye spring . Rear has P&J ladders, ’32 spring. Tube shocks all around. Front shocks are chrome. Steering – Corvair column, and new (repop) Corvair box. Conventional draglink design (not cross steer).

Wheels/tires – Wheels are late 70s Lincoln Versailles, 15 x 6, slightly modified to look like baby Halibrands. Tires are 165/80-R15 front, and 235/75-R15 rear. Wheels have been polished and painted black. Tires have been sanded to remove the lettering for a more vintage look. Electrical and Lighting - Speedway wiring harness. Headlights are SoCal sealed beams with vintage style stands. No turn signals at this time but wired for them. Taillights ’48 Chevy with LEDs for safety and a Third brakelight inside rear window (not visible unless on). Instruments – All new at build a Stewart Warner Set: S/W tach and speedo,S/W oil, temp, volt, and gas gages. Interior – Bench seat is from a Mopar minivan, currently being reupholstered in black with gold stitching. It has been modified so seatback can be moved forward for easier behind-the-seat access.
