This was a word of mouth deal,so I set up an appointment to take a look-see.... Well, I have it. Didin't get the info as to when the past owner took possesion,but it's been sitting since '66..it was his high school car. Specifics are- Banger was punched .030,and the head was shaved. Top was filled in at some point,and has gl*** rear fenders? I asked him on that,and he said he couldn't find any.All the yards had no A's,so somehow he got gl*** ones.... Has CA blk and yel plates,couldn't find the "pink",but an old reg was taped to the steering collumn. Ya boy= I don't have to pull the body for some #'S. The engine turns by hand,and the trans shifts fine. A lil beat up=60's arc welder repairs.... All in all,Hopefully I saved one from certain death. Cleaning like mad right now= 4/10 shells,nails?,a bunch of dead mice,and cobwebs from hell... Rumbleseat car,with cherry deck and seat springs.... Alas,cannot keep it,as too many things going on.I will put it in the cl***ifieds soon.... Thought I'de share.....Theyr' still out there!
Awesome find... this post needs more pics, man! I'd love to see the filled roof. I'm planning on filling mine.
I've scrounged the furniture, my dresser, and the kid's rooms... I've got $16.47, that's not going to be enough, is it?
I went and picked up this car this weekend. Its in amazing shape! Thanks again Invisiblekid, i wish i could have stayed longer to ********. im about to get it off the trailer and get started on gettin it running.
Here it is loaded up, ill take some pics of it at my house after its unloaded. We found this pink gorilla at the high school down the street. We tried to stuff it in the car but it wouldnt fit, it didnt dawn on me till later to try and put it in the rumble seat.
thanks, i drove 9 hours each way. My plans are to drive the banger for a while, im saveing for a 32 frame, i already got a 392 hemi and a winters quickchange. im going to kinda clone the green grenede.
