A New Life

Not the best looking car on the road, but this 1960 Chevrolet was in the salvage yard when the
current owner bought it. He then updated all the running gear, replaced, wheels,brakes
steering, suspension, engine and transmission. Despite it's looks he says it now drives like a new car.

A long and expensive process but when the owner reaches the point of restoring the body it will be special. Very nicely photographed and I can assure you that engine no way resembles the original factory engine. That is some POWER in it now. VV

Cool story and fine shot! Hope you catch up with it again after it's fully restored.
