How about a ragtop? I got a zip package done up of this car if your interested from the start to finish. I didn't put all the pic's in the zip because there are too many.
This is an orignal 383 4 speed formula s car (numbers matching). It has radio, light pakage and the nice interior. I have not seen another one yet. My friend said it is one of possible 8 left and maybe less.
Everything is either new or refinished on this car including driveline,
interior, top and trim. It's amazing when you think, ah I'll
just pull this apart and then all done, right??, :) surprise-surprise!! I can
see why there are so many projects that are almost done because a lot of
people just throw in the towel either because of cost or fustration.

Hi Again, Ron said it was ok to put his car up on the website. As far as the history of the car...he picked it up off a guy in Toronto who was the second owner, the first owner was some guy out of western Canada (Alberta I think). When Ron bought it, the guy didn't really know the value of the car, and his wife said "get that piece of junk out of here". So, Ron smiling to himself, bought it without thought because he knew it was an orignal #'s matching car.
Ron brought the car home but at the same time I was moving away then two years later I came back and got involved in the car only because of the rarity of it and I knew I wanted my name on it for the advertisement of it all!!! I'll get a good shot of the fender tag for ya and maybe one of the interior. I'll ask Ron if he wants to get more involved in the story of the car from start to finish because this car has put up a fight from the very start...nothing was straight forward with this car...nothing. An average hobbyist would of hung himself twice :) but we wouldn't let the car win ... he should of named her Christine!!! But it's all done now so ...gotta go !!!...later
