I guess one set of side vents were not enough....and the chrome bumpers??? who needs them.
this is at an interesting place in St Louis... although most of his stuff just sells on flea bay.

Well, the fact that the 427/435 tag is STILL on the console certainly makes up for the fact that the ENGINE is gone.
Authentic old RACE CARS seem to be valuable, authentic old CUSTOMS seem to be?????

Not as hideous as some that are out there
Looks like the mods could be easily reversed if desired. Nice thing about show cars is they usually had low mileage and were kept inside.

Pretty close, actually.
You think the missing bumpers are "easily reversed???"
Like the upside down weirdazz parking lights, too. Nice touch. This is the new "this is your brain on crack" commercial.

"6 inches taken off the rear and 4 inches added to front".
Easy for RRV maybe, not for me.

Does the generic term "show winner" add to the provenance?

The double vents reminds me of the station wagon from Vacation with the double head and tail lights.
