This one came to me from a friend. A real good friend! I wanted one of these since 1965! I just want to clean it up real good. I might try to make some bumpers for it.
Its all here except for the surfers!
Started cleaning it and the body came off! I felt like Indiana Jones for a minute. Sorry for the poor photo but if one looks through the blurry windshield, one can see a rectangular steering wheel in there. Was that a La Salle feature? I remember seeing an episode of My Classic Car where a car had one of those in it.
The builder did a pretty clean job of building it except for the front wheels. The back one was broken off, I will get them all straight somehow. If you look at the engine, he used a yellow engine out of something else and put the Aurora 409 heads ontop of the other heads. Man this thing must have compression galore!
