About

Bought this car in May 1990 for $500 at a yard sale. The whole story is on the site I built dedicated to this krazy car http://53chevyhotrod.com

History of this Vehicle

Bought it from the second owner, who bought it in 1978 and never drove it (he was going to restore it with his son). 55K original miles. The whole story is on the site I built dedicated to this krazy car http://53chevyhotrod.com

Plans for this Vehicle

Well, these things never are really finished, are they…

I’d like to modernize the brakes and front end. Finish the things I started. Get a targa top made for it so I don’t have to worry about rain. The whole story is on the site I built dedicated to this krazy car http://53chevyhotrod.com
