Here are some pictures of the undercarriage showing some of the extreme detail that went into this car. Again........everything under here was restored back to the way it was found. We documented everything as we carefully disassembled this car.
Of course......the stainless steel Pypes exhaust isn't original....but it sure does sound good.

Nice, I think I could use the underbody as a mirror to shave with.

Jason, has the previous owner (the barn owner that is) had a chance to look at it yet?

This car rivals or betters a Tiemann restoration and is a true work of art.

Jason,
I have not posted on this thread before but I wanted take a moment to THANK YOU for taking the time and making the effort to post all the pictures of your work these last several months. The detail photos of the component parts are excellent and will undoubtedly help many others with their restorations. I think the car is turning out beautifully and hope you finish it with no problems and have a successful sale at auction. John |

Very well said John! I agree 100% and would also like to say thanks. It is an awesome car and has been a pleasure seeing you rebuild it with such detail.

Here is the engine compartment featuring the original Ram Air III engine with all it's original parts:
   Here are some pictures of up inside the front fenders showing how nice and new everything is. Even the brake calipers are the original date coded Delco units that I restored.   And here is the interior. All original except for the new carpet and pedal pads. The seats, door panels, dash, and everything else is completely original and unrestored.

Jason - even the auction is nicely written; I enjoyed reading it even though I already knew the story...
...except for the part about the class ring: I didn't realize it belonged to the original owner. Cool! Perhaps you should post a couple "before" pictures, or maybe a link to this thread, in case any potential buyers would be interested. K

Sounds like me and the Judge were both living in State College, PA in 1970 then.
Great story, nicely written auction, and great resto. I'm sure it will bring top dollar, and deserves to.

Good read and thanks for sharing with us all to enjoy!
Please make note that the ring was returned to the original owner along with the point the car has not been driven? Trailer Queens or virgin restorations bring in more money for obvious reasons. Good luck with the sale and your future business venture. I feel your business will benefit from more then just the proceeds generated in the sale of the car. Brewster

Thanks for all the kind words, everybody.
The auction is doing fine so far and hopefully whomever wins the car will be able to take it all over the country and show it to everybody since I don't have the time to. |
