I bought this ’57 in 1991 and had it back on the road in 1995. I did all the work with the exception of the engine machine work and the paint. The car has appox 17,500 miles on it since completion.

Car is sold "as-is and where-is" with no guarantee or warranty expressed or implied. I welcome and encourage any and all hands on inspections. Car is located in NE California, one hour from Reno, NV.

All the graphics are removable decals. I started the tribute in 1999.
