    got about 6 or more rods and customs and found this site, i am a disabled veteran who usually does about 35 car shows a year, did the deroit autorama basement this year, and do most of my own work mechanical and paint, this invicta was sold to me as a perfect car ready for the road 5 months of work and $5K in parts and stuff it was roadworthy and i drove it to santa maria Ca last year:dance:took the wife with with too
    got to get this ready for a road trip tomorrow, oh it got best of class radical in grand forks last weekend(y)

    Welcome, Eugene!

    It's just boggling my mind how the windshield was executed on the chop.....?

    (For those who were unaware, here's a standard Invicta (this one's for sale too):

    :clap:

    :wave: hi old fart. None of us argue, if you tell us your an old fart then far be it for us to tell you differently. But if your car is a "beat up old wagon" then I'm not sure what mine would be called. Glad you found your way here. :Welcome:
