The friend of mine that does the soda blasting STILL has his original, bought new in '62, 409 2x4, 4-speed, convertable!!! Still red (2nd paintjob) red interior, white top. All original but currently running a set of 18" billet wheels with actual sidewalls on the tires, NOT rubberbands... looks GOOD!!
