Here's my 56' oval i picked up $300. Actually he was asking $500, but i told him i doubted engine will start after 30yrs of it bieng parked, so he gave me a discount. :lol: It's been a long project, but it will be on the road soon. Got to, the gas on my97' suburban 454 4X4 is kill me. It came with alot of goodies: 1955 eggshell tailights, original grab handle, window squirter, and as I tore off door panels i found working semaphores, cig. lighter and original steering lock with push botton starter. Thanks for looking.

looks awesome, but i would have left it looking the way it did with the mismatching body panels and stuff.

ok, maybe not. It looks sweet. I love ragtops.

Thanks, Macca_nzl for the help :D . I think it is a euro, cause of all the goodies it came with. Plus the guy told me he bought off a importer and exporter sales person 35 yrs ago.

Thanks for compliments! The funny thing is that I got it through Recycler- Los Angeles Edition. Everytime i called there was no answer ( for about 8 days three times a day i called :x ) Until finally he answered the phone, it seems that he was on vacation. :shock:
