The Rebuild of Wild Wanda

Recommended Posts

Just about to finish this 69 Mach Indian Fire Red S code, nick named 'Wild Wanda for the note I found someone had placed on the assembly line.  California car, 1 of 4 in that color with those options.  Nicest rust free body I've ever worked on. Rebuilt 390, PS PB AC, C6, posi.  Took her down to bare metal then primed/sealed, 4 coats PPG Deltron and 4 coats PPG clear.  Final wet sand was with 3M trizit 5000 grit.  Came with original Cal black plate tags. Probably gonna sell her this spring when I take her to the shows and it get an offer I can't refuse.  Happened with my last one.  Wish they all could be California Girls!

Mine also started out as Indian Fire Red - it lost that in the mists of time...

 

Otherwise it's nearly identical bar the lack of AC and posi but mine does have a tach dash - build date February 13 in San Jose and bound for Portland OR.

 

Looks very nice
