I have had this car for 5 years now and have done a lot of work to it. I just put disc brakes on the front. Very nice car and no rust that I am aware of. Had it painted about 18 months ago but despite what I paid it's not a great job. Installed a Turbo 350 Transmission to replace the old 2 speed Iron Power Glide. Could use an adapter for the shift notches on steering column as it is still for the two speed Power Glide. Has a 283 V-8 in it. This is a true VC VIN V-8 Bel Air. Many factory upgrade trim parts. Check out the pictures and send me an email with any questions. This car is in much better condition than most cars its age. Not perfect but a great starting point for a really nice ride. My HOA will not allow me to keep more than one unregistered car in my driveway. So I'm keeping my 69 Camaro and selling this. I hate to let it go as I too was born in 1957. But it is what it is.
