SUMMARY: This Bob Dron custom was built in the spirit of all of his customs, it was built to be driven. A lot of money invested to make this car drive as good as it looks. Custom Rodder cover car. Incredibly clean and reliable. Excellent custom Art Morrison Chassis. Approx 4k miles on the car since built 10 years ago. He had continued to update the car as needed including removing the air-ride suspension and redoing the interior in the last year before selling the car to the current owner. Bob said driving with the air-ride suspension was like driving a marshmallow and the earlier interior no longer fit the vintage style of the car. With all of the updates to the suspension of this car it is more along the lines of a pro-touring car. Get a set of modern low profile wheels and you can jump between modern pro-touring look and the vintage look with just a swap of the wheels. This car has a perfect blend of vintage style and modern drive-ability. Obviously, there is a lot more to this car than listed here, give me a call for more information. The car is currently located in North Dakota. If you have any questions please call me at 925-699.5398. Please remember I am on Pacific Standard Time.
