Hot Rod Magazine feature car! From their story:
Anyone who has more than a passing interest in custom cars is likely to be familiar with John D’Agostino’s name. He’s been a major player in the scene ever since debuting his mildly customized, Art Himsl-painted ’70 Pontiac Grand Prix at the Grand National Roadster Show in 1970. Since then he has designed and produced more than 40 customs, averaging one new debut every year. All of his cars are traditional in style; most are also pretty radically redesigned.
The ’64 was handed over to bodyman and painter John Cardinalle in Antioch, California, shortly after being purchased from the original owner. In the interest of accentuating the car’s crisp styling and giving it a longer look, the front fenders were peaked and the rear quarter-panel peaks were extended to create small fins. The rocker panels were also extended, and all seams welded and filled. After frenching the stock taillight lenses and shaving off virtually all of the trim and emblems, John sprayed a bright finish of PPG Lemon Chiffon Pearl paint with Peach Pearl highlights.
Dressing up the stock grille with Lucas lights and a couple dozen bullets helped finish off exterior appearances, as did bolting on chrome 14×6-inch Wheel Vintiques rims with vintage cone center caps and Coker 1 1/4-inch whitewalls. The lowered stance-achieved by Frank Russo with modified coil springs and a C’d frame-contributed even more to the car’s visual length. Like most D’Agostino customs, the original 394ci V-8 engine and automatic transmission were left stock, although they were rebuilt by Frank Russo and Brentwood Transmission, respectively. Antioch Muffler bent and welded the dual exhaust pipes.
