48 Olds Club Coupe - Fathers Day Surprise
Just joined last night. I have a 48 Olds Club Coupe in restoration. When I retired a couple of years ago fishing & golf got old, so my kids decided I needed something else to do. I was an hot rodder years ago, and my son is heavily into it now. He is Heating/AC and one of his customers had a 48 Club Coupe in his garage gathering dust for 10 years - never moved or started. The owner had started building it, but health problems brought it to a halt. So on Fathers Day last year, as a complete surprise, my 3 kids bought it for me! It has a 383 stroker, 700 R4 tran, Mustang II frontend. The motor was froze-up from sitting, so we went to work and we're having a great time! I need certain parts (chrome pieces, etc.) and hope this forum can help.
My son and I bought another 48 Coupe last night that we were going to use for parts. Its not exactly like mine - has the slope back. After looking at it though, we've decided it is a builder for my son. I plan to use the bumpers and some other parts off of it, because he will want to completely customize it himself.
