    This is the toy I just sold this year.
    Sorry to see her go.
    This was a nice motor pass.

    I have to do some floor pan and trunk work.
    It had the body work and paint done 15 years ago.
    This was the first time the new (15 year old paint ) seen sunlight.
    Cant believe time goes by that fast.

    Very clean looking car. Looks like a Maverick hood on it. I'll be interested to see it after you change wheels. Please post some more pics!

    When I was looking for fiberglass hoods 15 years ago nobody made a comet hood so I just put a Maverick hood on it. Nothin wrong with the wheels I just wanted draglites on it with the drag radials that I bought for it. I might sell those tires and wheels if someone wants them. It is a snorkel hood without the top part on it. It was the only hood I could get at the time. Im glad I found this website. This is a great plase to showcase these great little cars.
