I recieved this car as a high school graduation gift from my grandfather who purchased it in 1978. The car was severely neglected. The original paint was heavily oxidized and the stock 305 Chevy engine was in dire need of a tune-up. After two weeks of rubbing out the paint by hand, several weekends under the hood, and numerous trips to the junkyard, I think I have a decent daily driver, with the exception of the dent on the side, which I plan to pull out soon.
