Engine details: Non-matching 265 V8, recently rebuilt.

All chrome on car except grill oval and teeth. I now have 400 miles on her since July, runs well and is a blast to drive!
 
Car history:
Bought in Kailua, Hawaii in 1976 from Jon Tai. was used as a drag car, it had a 454 and a Muncie trans in it. Body was made into a flip front car with dual tunnel ram carbs etc...

Body repaired nicely, so it is clean looking on outside. When I was younger, I put a 350 with a turbo 350 trans in it, after many years and a growing family, I'm ready to put it back together as close to original as I can. I'm practical as to it's potential, but I'd like it to look "right" for the year. If anyone has any other history on where it was purchased or who else owned it, I'd like to know.

The car is now registered and legal to drive. I have 100 + miles on the newly rebuilt speedo. Runs pretty well, steers and handles better than before, the complete suspension and steering overhaul did wonders!
