[img][/img]Started out as a '56 Golden Hawk, damaged in a barn collapse. In 1983 the roof was removed and a complete convertible assembly from a '64 Dodge Dart grafted into place, along with front & rear sheetmetal and trim from a '53 coupe. The builder then stalled out on the project and parked it outside until selling it in the late 80's. We discovered it in a barn in 1995, and finally put it on the road in 2003, accumulating over 38,000 miles since then. Everything other than the original graft, upholstery, exhaust and air ride was homebuilt.
Drivetrain is a superchaged 'R2' V8 from a '63 Avanti, coupled to a GM 200R4 transmission.
