Here's my all original Gulf Blue '62 with 35,000 original miles, I'm fighting the urge to lower it....
Here's how I found it, it had been sitting for 10 years or so..
Still working on detailing it and bringing the shine back...

^^^ Looks excellent! As long as your lowering process is bolt-on, go for it. Easily changed back to stock in a day if you want that back. _________________ nothing |

Hood and fenders aside, the main body of my brother's 56 is what's left of original prairie beige after removing two shitty repaints. Still a work in progress...
