Story:
Quartet stayed at body shop owner's house. Owner showed it to Dad. It was a wreck recovery. He had put in a later model flathead v8. Had  3 speed + overdrive, dual pipe straight exhaust. 
Brother once pulled all his plugs and wires when he was mad.
Chicks did not dig it, because it messed up their hair.
