    Well, you may have seen this in the classifieds. I was really trying to do my good friend a solid and help him sell his shoebox...but after I drove it, I bought it! I hesitated for a while, but the deal was great for both of us. It's a '49 with '50 front fenders, and it has a tire-frying 383 stroker with almost 500hp! The chop and paint are so smooth, and that drip rail is sexy. My girlfriend took the photos, she started shooting before I got it in the garage...enjoy.

    The color is House of Kolors candy apple red with a tangerine clear over top...I think. The car looks like dessert when it's in the sun...those shoeboxes really have some clean lines.
