Basic Information and History

This Hot Rod T-23 is a traditionally styled and well-built custom project with original registration dating back to 1986. Originally painted black, it has recently undergone a complete rebuild and renovation to its current, award-winning condition. The build was completed ahead of the 2024 Custom Show Jönköping, where the car was awarded a prize by the SSRA—proof of the quality and craftsmanship behind the project.

The body is in show condition with no dents or scratches, and the vehicle has never suffered from rust. The paint is in top condition and only a year old, as is the interior. With four previous owners, the car has been well cared for over the years and is now ready for a new enthusiast.
