just picked this one up saturday, i've been driving it around the neighborhood and working the bugs out of it for a couple days, and it seems to be in great shape. just needs some wiring work, a little body work, paint, and a custom interior. its got a 235 with 3 on the tree. before i bought the car i thought i would want to change it out for an automatic 4 speed overdrive, but i think i'll keep the 3 on the tree for now, its pretty fun. and yes i am well aware that it is a 4 door, i bought it mainly because of that...
Four doors, cylinders all in a row .... Sounds perfect to me! Column shifts are fun too. It's a gas watching most folks tryin' to figure out what the hell you're doing! (George, is that man in that old car having some kind of fit ...???)
HAHAHAHAHA! i want to drive someone around that has no idea what column shift is, and just say "i wonder what will happen if i put it in park right now..."
as far as i know it had been in the same family since the 70's, and kept in storage for quite some time, the owners son got it running again and did the brakes, and stuffed it behind his dealership, it sat for a year or two, and thats where i found it.
You can have an awful lot of fun with a car like that. Funny how they look without all the chrome. The 3-on-the-tree is also a great anti-theft device these days!
yeah bryan, i was thinking the same thing! if anyone wanted to steal it they wouldnt even know how to drive it! haha
the guy told me he would call when he found the rest of the parts, and he did. i'll be going probably tomorrow or thursday to get them
