    Spent a lot of time looking for my first project and finally got it! Barn find that's been sitting since the 70's. Has an early 60's 327 and a 4 speed. I know the wheels have got to go, they're temporary till I get the original's painted with some new www. Wish me luck! :D

    Reminds me of the one that I had back in the 70's.
    327 with a Muncie 4 speed. I ran chrome reversed wheels though.
    Have fun with it.

    Had one in the 70s with the same eng/trans. Old tuck and roll. Matador red. Like an idiot, sold it to get married. Love to have it back, and it didn't look half as nice as yours. Great find. Have fun with it.

    Thanks guys, a few more days and it'll be on the road. I was lucky to find such a complete car to work with (and have the friends to help).
