Based on the orientation of the engine mount bolts on the frame and the lack of undercoating above the heater box, plus the fact that it started life on the east coast I would guess a Baltimore car.

Love these old street racers especially unmolested ones. Thanks for sharing the build with us!

Rick,

Thanks for the note! The car was never in any bad weather as it has low mileage ~7k. As far as the condition, it is very good as the original owner did a great job in keeping it in good shape.

At the end of the day, it just becomes a refresh as the car is in great condition. I plan to honor the history of the car and the original owner who had it for 49 years.

Regards,

I have provided some updates from today as the rear end is almost completed.

The traction bars and the remaining bolts, rear cover and shocks will go in this week and then onto the engine refresh.

Enjoy, Mark
