Thank you guys. This place is super; and it's FREE! More funds my new topless gal
Originally a 318 with a 904 auto / now 360 727 auto and an unknown rear. The transmission is absolutely radical as she hits hard! Too hard for the 14" that are all around... My local trans shop manager says it is "very impressive". One of the next decisions that I need to make is wheels, tires and other hardware to keep it from chirping all day long. I know "some problem to have"; hehe... So right now I just have it tuned way down and it is shifting into second at 5mph and drive at 15ish. The car isn't being driven so that will work until Spring...
But here is a neat little find. When you go check out your dream car (that needs work), how many of us think to verify that the kickdown linkage is there! That's not a question either... Boy was that an expensive miss. I would have still bought the car but I think that I could have gotten a credit on that...
Thankfully it is a power top that works great but will need new leather. The interior is very nice with a cap on the dash. I will probably replace the carpet for fun. It is a non-rallye car with no options.
The body is straight overall. It has a good frame with no rusting out and one fist size hole behind the drives seat. Both quarters had been replaced but the body work will need to be touched up. The trunk floor is a mess but nothing has rusted through. I give it a 7 out of 10.
Needs all new exhaust, leaf springs, shocks, wheels, tires and bumpers. I've dumped about 2K already and am about done for the winter. I will spend the cold season trying to save for body and paint before all these other parts.
We'll see...
