    I’d leave the leaning tower of power in it just because and drive the piss out of it

    That was the plan but I got side tracked by other projects and just lost interest in this one. I was surprised by the amout of people that the slant pisses off. It is more than if I LS swapped it.

    I had a Slant Six in my 74 Duster that I built using everything I could find from Direct Connection with a 600 Holley, split headers and 4speed. Whenever I pulled into a lot and someone didn’t already know the car they would ask me if I had a 340 in it. :D

    10. nearly new 2 1/2 inch duals with X-pipe and Flowmasters (?)
    11. aluminum radiator with SPAL fan

    15. vented front disc brakes and dual master cylinder
    16. stock bench seats with original factory vinyl/leather
    17. clean Oregon title in my name

    That Hillman reminds me of one I really wanted to save out of a wrecking yard back when
    I was a teen. My dad talked me out of the starry eyed dream with "What do you want to do and how much is it going to cost and how much do you earn right now"... I would have torn it apart and never finished it. Thanks, dad, but it would have been cool.

    Rod, your dad must have been pretty well trained in the art of reasoning.

    My dad would have ask me where I thought I was going to do all the work the pile of junk needed, because I sure wasn't doing it at his house.

    With my son, it was "Your time and your money. If you are there working on it, I will help you."

    He got me my first motorcycle at 9. He owned over 30 different motorcycles (each a different brand except 2) had a jag when I was born, had British sports cars when I was young, restored a 62 Alpine (couldn't afford a Tiger, they appreciated just beyond his grasp) when I was in my late teens. We went to all sorts of racing when I was a kid, GNRS, Paso, CHRR and others when I was older.

    I miss him. That's him getting something out of his Ford at CHRR.
    I asked him to park next to the Plymouth because I have one I still need to finish.

    For what's there, it seems a reasonable price:

    Pictures show a poly. It also says runs & drives. It's a good start for a classic ride, even if it's not a popular body style.

    "NO TRADES,NO LOW BALL PRICES OR STUPID QUESTIONS. Car runs and drives,fresh engine and fuel system, great car to restore or drive as is,I have extra parts including a windshield and rocker pannels,need to get rid of I have to many projects,price is negotiable but not much,does need some brake work,has a record radiator, decent tires,has decent exhaust ,engine is a 331 Holly 2 barrel,2 speed powerflight Trans, pick up only in elyria ohio"

    Windsors, being the lowest trim line, were usually polys (which ain't a bad thing in itself).
