‘60 V-200 White Lightning!
This is White Lightning pretty much as found in 1997, photographed here in 1999. Dull oyster white paint and a seized 170 slant six and mouse pee musty red interior with ugly faded re-covered seats. Fortunately for this V-200, my neglect through the years avoided what I call the "douche effect" of what teenagers often do to old cars. Weirdo interior fabrics (often spray adhered), hacked wiring harnesses, and stupid "performance" mods that ruin the character of the car. Despite the neglect leaving the car with a lot of work to do, undoing douche hack-jobs can be a lot more work. I have such a task for my Saab 96 which got the "full douche" serving as my first car and daily driver throughout my teens and early twenties. No such task for White Lightning!
