Love these old beauties - especially the ingenuity and early innovation. This is a spectacular car (the chrome probably weighs almost as much as the X1/9 😂) and in excellent condition. Halfway through the video I thought “this may be the shortest project ever - we’re gonna change the oil and call it a wrap!”. Have fun with this one and thanks for sharing.
@@alexdigiacomo2805 well there is luckily a few things we can do! We can fix the under seat heater and try to get that working. How often would I use it? Who knows! Would be cool to have though
@@GarageTimeTV for sure. The topside and interior is in pretty darn good shape. As soon as you walked through the underside I thought “ok - there’s the upcoming content”. Digging into that restoration should be fun and will make this a prize winner.
To think you could have had this beast new for about 4K back in '54. Love the chrome.
@@dennisjump8655 crazy how time does that!
Nice buddy, happy for you
HI/Lo brings back memories. They got bought out by O’Reilly in 98. In the 80s there were definitely locations all over Houston and East Texas.

Definitely would have sent a sample of the oil to Blackstone Labs just to see.

Knew it. That bubble nose and slant back gave it away
