Welcome!
Those 6 speeds give you lots a choice in rear gear.
Tear it up at the drag strip, and drive it home on those crazy LA freeways
keeping up to traffic at 80 mph!

I'd rather do it myself if it's done right or not,,,isn't that what hotrodding is all about

The 6 speed is mated to a 347 stroker, not sure of the motor year but looks
like a late model with small spark plugs.

Nice looking ride. Do you know if your car originally had a vinyl top? It looks like that might have been a possibility with the chrome trim that separates the white roof from the rest of the body.

The body is solid and rust free other than the floors.
