Isn't it fun to build a car that causes so many people to get their panties all bunched up?? I'm gonna leave this right here to show the type of critics they are signed, no bike Lloyd
It was the 70s man I agree the suspension looks scarry. I was probably a junior or senior in high school when this picture was taken, we had a snotty sounding similarly tall black Mercury Comet with a 8 qt pan hanging under it that cruised around high school. Cars like that still give me a woody. Flat towed cars may have been required to the "Car in Tow" in some states, a lot of guys flat towing in my area had it on.
My oddball is coming along. Hood, grill and bumper installed. I am still looking for a pair of 15x5 slots for The front.
I want to run a 26 or 27 inch tall tire, with a width of 6 inches. Its hard to find. I have a pair of 5.50-6.0 by 15s that are 26 x5.5. These should work.
My pile should be running this weekend. Funny thing is, 25 years ago this weekend I wrecked my original f85, and this is its replacement.
Well, it runs. I need to Swap out the original ignition switch, time it and fix a few water leaks, then ai should be on the road!
I have been chasing on for 30 years, same owner . Sitting in a garage , V8 car . His son installed the incorrect battery in it and slammed the hood shorted and burnt lots of wiring .
Well, I drove it to town, over to a friend's hose and did a whole-shot past the fire station! I am really starting to like this car.
Always thought those Olds, Pontiac and Buicks of this era made fantastic gasser bodies to start with!
