First impressions are everything !! Anyone who had one of these cars in the 70's did just what was done to this car Drove it !! Streetraced it and raced it on Sunday ! There weren't cruise nights like today, People didn't clone these cars like today, car shows catered to the tri fives and older. This is a perfect example of a car that was just put out of mind and left with the thought I'll fix it one day. Then came girls, family , houses, tuitions and so on. I am willing to bet anyone, anything from what I've seen its Dead Nuts Real !!

Working part time at Steve Kaniuka's didn't hurt any either or did wrenching on a Mod Gas National Record holder on the weekends. The 70's that was when you could have serious fun with these cars and it was Just that Fun !! I wouldn't be afraid of that car everything points in the only direction real !! I can say I've looked at a couple in My time as Lead Judge for NCOA"S Unrestored Class for Years, Owned way to many and worked on I can't remember all of them !! Buy it !!! Enough said
