Man, I remember growing up or in highschool, I seen one of these for the 1st time, and was automatically in love with it. The lines, the grill, motor, there's just nothing wrong with this car in my eyes. =) it's still one of my top dream cars.

I'd love to see it race a Z11 Impala.

[@IfThisCarCouldTalk]

Oh ya...what a race of rare beasts! I'm sure that happened back in the day! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@sskstmz]

Very nice but a couple things I would change. A period correct Faria or Rotunda tachometer would look nicer and find some of the original Hi-Po Kelsey Hayes 15" x 5-1/2" wheels for it.

[@IfThisCarCouldTalk]

Yep! Agreed. Thanks for watching and hope you're a subscriber and keep watching!

[@pierredecine1936]

Cherry Rarity !!!
