The interior is done in the early 60’s style with tan roll and pleat and matching loop carpet. Early style custom dash with Stewart Warner gauges, a 1963 Buick steering wheel, AM/FM radio with a cassette player, heater, defroster and air conditioning.

Defects:

The paint has a few rock chips that have been touched up, hair line crack on both sides of the frenched license plate (see pictures), and 2 paint bubbles (so small/faint the pictures don’t show them) on both sides just above the belt line at the rear quarter panel where the roof meets it. The water temp gauge is not accurate, tack does not work, AC needs charged.

This is a excellent running and driving kustom, that based on how long ago this car was built, looking at the condition inside and out and how well it runs and drives it’s apparent the builder is very skilled and knew what they were doing. Will only grow in value. Any questions or picture request contact me through ebay or call Cris @971-227-5248 8am to 9 pm PST
