Looks like a really solid starting point and very original. Is it auto or manual? And what colour is the trim?

[capssyParticipant Pro touring calais View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 178]

Factory 4 speed and trim is doeskin chessnut (creamy white) this trim and colour is a rare combo from my research

We have a matching numbers vh 253 vh and wanted to keep it that way….

BUT you can get the screaming along well we have a stroker 253/310 fully worked engine that will suprise people thats an option for you to keep numbers and get it moving. Want me info just ask.

 

 

Should get up some more pics of it, where from here?
