The green-colored classic, owned by Sonoma County man Tony Graham since he bought it new, came to us in early 2001. It was running, but the interior and body were in poor shape. We completely stripped the car and began a limited restoration. But when Tony saw the quality of the work we were doing, he asked us to do a complete restoration.

It took us almost two years – there was a lot of waiting for materials to our specs – but he was extremely pleased with the results. So much so that he was confident about entering it in the Dixon competition not that long after we finished.

The results, of course, speak for themselves.
