Sweet. Looks a bit Gen-Z though. Might not ever break a sweat. Probably just ahead of its time. :lol:

Wow Mike! That baby is nice! Looks like it was definitely well taken care of. Very hard to find a fender pan that is not cracked. Where did you find that beauty?

  Like 20 minutes from home. Long story but old guy that owned it passed, his daughter sold it yesterday to a guy I know, that guy installed a new battery and got it fired up and sold it to me today. 
   It’s a keeper!

Mike it looks like new. The P/O definitely took care of it. Hope you have this one for years.

I'm starting to believe these incredible machines have a spiritual ability.  Seems they are destined to find their way to the home they deserve.  :greetings-clappingyellow:

Sweet find Mikey!  @phil bowling and his buddy Scott Shearer were big black hood fans.  While visiting Scott’s farm he pointed out that the side lines (angles) of the fender perfectly match the hood lines from the front.  I can’t say that makes the fender look any better on it’s own, but it is surely that 80’s Chevy Celebrity look!
