Anyone have pics of unrestored heb's and early vert's?
Would be cool to see them before they are restored or older pics.
Here is my 50
I have to drag it out of storage and take more pics soon. |

Dunno if you are considering 55 early, but here is my car when I bought it from the og owner.

I would post my original paint 57 but don't want to be yelled at for not being early enough  |

|
|
| From the great state of Texas .... pleased to call her mine, I just acquired her and will be beginning the process to restore her to perfection. Deserves nothing less as it is one of the nicest unmolested verts I have seen in a long time. Since the car is so straight and original, it will be an awesome car when Im done. I sold my 52 vert to fund the acquisition but Im thrilled with the deal. Chuck is a true friend to allow me the opportunity. A new chapter for the Texas vert! |

I was supposed to buy that vert for 10k in 2000 from Jerry Parrot when it was in Oklahoma. It was hard to get in touch with that guy.

WOW Chuck sold you his vert! I saw this this vert in his garage about 3 months ago, it's in great shape indeed, all original. Chuck let me take some measurements off the front bumper so I could make a no-drill front license plate bracket for splits. Chuck's a great asset to the hobby.
