Cool, you don't see many of those old GMs with the tall-deck big-block anymore.

Wonderful!


I think it fits the "vintage race car" motif just fine. Once you get the interior decked out, you will be enjoying every minute of your race trips.

Looks like the body work to make it a car carrier was well done. As with any antique go through everything. Good luck and keep up with pictures.

True words. They did it well and moved the rear cap. I saw a cut off bus with a flat bed on the back, where they hauled the hay for the horse they towed in a trailer...and they had just hacked it of and filled the void with a plywood wall. This looks nice.
