My dad was the original owner of this 383. He bought it shortly after high school. Our family drove it for a few years until someone wrecked into it.
I remember as a kid, this car was sitting next to our house for years, just rusting away. My mom wanted to sell it, but my dad was insistent on hanging on to it.
They finally restored it about 25 years ago.
I still have the original wheels. Everything else is also original on it.
My dad put it in a ditch about 10 years ago, and they never messed with getting it fixed.
He passed away last year and left it to me.
I got the body work done and new paint. New wheels and tires too.
There is still a lot of work to be done.
That's why I joined this group.
Hopefully, I'll find some good threads, and get some good opinions on how to fully restore this car without my wife killing me about the cost!
Cheers!
