Can you say "Sleeper" ?

One of the coolest buiilds I've seen in a long time. Who said Patina wasn't cool? :toocool:

What a great car plus it's a station wagon! I can have my kids drive me around while I'm hanging me feet out the back window ...without seat belts, and remembering the good old days.

It seems all this one's patina is real except I think he said the dash was painted to match. I don't recall anyone who counts ever saying patina wasn't cool, although faux patina is another matter.

Nice car, but it'll be even nicer when it's painted!

A cool old wagon, indeed. The guy obviously knows how to build for the CA officials - total driveline conversion, including OBDII and all computer functionality. Not sure what I'd do with that one.

Very cool car and thanks for posting. I agree with you Dave, use it like that for a season or two then strip and paint it some two tone original colour scheme. I like the sound that baby made to when the loud pedal is pushed. Isn't those early fifties cars becoming popular with that guy copying our Falconman here.

Just my opinion but I think it would lose it's sleeper and coolness if it were painted - - - - and to answer Roger's question, I would drive the heck outa it !
I'll bet that car introduces him to more people than he cares to talk to.

As I was looking at this video again it reminded me a little bit of Bombshell Betty ...and how I need a car like her for the street. That would equally scare Republicans, Democrats, and other persuasions.
