Get READY to STOP Car shows while arriving in this car.IT TURNS HEADS LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE!
If you're in the market for a Slab Side Lincoln... this is the car for you.
The GREEN MACHINE aka "BAD Grandpa"is up for sale... Located in Rochester, Ythis car came to me via Mark Grimes (nebraska hot rod builder) 2 years ago in VASTLY Different shape than you see in the pictures.
It was not in bad shape body wise, ut mechanically it was on its last leg.
with only two rust spots, nd in desperate need of a power train rebuild and paint job.
Within 2 weeks, got to work with Vinny at Skully Customs to handle the body and air ride.once that was completed, t was shipped off to Tony Rubert Competition here in Rochester, Y for the power train.
Here's all that's been done to the car.
