    This one survived me as a Sh*t for brains teenager. Babied she wasn’t! But rust free and still has original numbers matching drivetrain. Apparently you can’t blow up a 383!

    ‘68 383, automatic, one of 447 factory air cars, probably the only white over maroon stripe delete cars left on the planet. My high school car, bought her in 1975 for $400. Original paint with plenty of dents dings and primer
