I was contacted by a gentleman in Redding California who has acquired a car from a deceased neighbor. He is interested in selling the car and is working to come up with a fair value. The car is extensively customized, he does not know a lot about it. Obviously it has a bullet nose front end, he says the title states it is a '52 as did his neighbor before he passed. This is clearly one that may not ring everyone's bell. It runs and drives well and was meticulously cared for by the previous owner. It has a Chevy 350/T350 combination, I do not know about the suspension or brakes. I am attaching the pictures he sent me. If you are interested I will PM the owners contact info.

It always strikes me as odd how the center rear of the roof looks like it is sagging when these starlight coupes are chopped. But, it looks like that on every one I've seen chopped. Not critiquing this build. Just making an observation.~Matt Connor

I have a 52 hard to and a local mercury ledsled builder tried to sell me on chopping mine.
He said a chop would be 10k.
I wouldn't do it to this car even if it was free but just an example I'll bet the chop on that car was at least that much.
Your remarks are exactly what I noticed the slope on the rear glass is a bit much but to make it all work would take some serious skills.

Dash looks like one for a 51 Champion. He probably has the wrong title, but you never know what got changed on one like that."In the heart of Arkansas."
