It looks to me as if she has been caringly restored in every detail. What are her specs? What is her interior like? What kinds of looks does she get when you take her out for a spin? And does her engine have that special growl in it that used to turn all of our heads when a car like that cruised by? |
Louise is a restored 65 almost 100% original equipment. She has an 8-cylinder 289 V-8 and upgrades were an edelbrock intake and 4 barrell holley carb. The interior is all original except for the hidden audio system
The orignal leather pony seats are still there and the insets where the pony is you will notice are discolored a bit from age..but there is not one tear in the seats front or back. I wanted to change the upholstery to the red/white pony leather seats but DH says we need to leave the interior alone. She has the original factory air and has an automatic transmission...I can drive a stick...but she is what she is as far as tranny goes. She has dual exhaust system with the trumpet tips. She is also the high performance motor..I know I am leaving something out
