At one point, somebody wanted to build this old luxury yacht as a pro touring car- so the interior was redone with grippy Recaro seats. That guy realized he was in over his head, so it was sold. The next guy had more of a lowrider idea in mind, so he nabbed some gold spoke wheels off of craigslist. Then the old 430 engine gave out, so it was sold. Which brings us to the current owner, a high school auto shop student who swapped in a 460 from a '91 F-250 and has no big plans for now aside from driving the wheels off of it until he can afford a paint job and a few other things.IMG_7955.thumb.JPG.65d6b4e72666a4c90ca125168499989d.JPGIMG_7957.thumb.JPG.059ad560de6f245838e8c2ad1aabfd6c.JPGIMG_7958.thumb.JPG.cc093627a1a127594b07cfdc715e1289.JPGIMG_7959.thumb.JPG.5fb582fbcffc5b2ad6f719f7e6b1daa4.JPG

Agree with Snake on the storyline. Model is very cool too. The HS person is probably taking  a pretty good ribbing about it too.

Oddly I got my fist 1:1 shortly after my HS graduation and it looked a LOT like this one. Great, and very believable story. The car is rusted exactly as the real ones do. Very nice!
