After years of crossing paths with it, I just joined the H.A.M.B. I'm rolling three of the much-maligned ropeshaft cars, trying to return them to bone stock. 1961 is a little blue four-door automatic, original 215 V8 car. 1962 is a red convertible, a faked 215 car with a four-speed. 1963 is "Agnes," a dark red LeMans with a 326 V8 and two-speed Powerglide with the console shifter option. I've got a ton of parts and experience with these cars, and happy to help.

Also out back, threatening to run again: a '62 Buick Special "Power Pack" coupe (T-10 and 4 bbl, 10.25:1 compression 215 V8) with Corvette side pipes.

My first classic was a 1963 Buick Special when I was living in LA back in '87. I blew up the iron-block V6 that was in it, went to the junkyard for another, and a guy there told me to forget the V6: what I wanted was an aluminum 215 V8. He sold me one for $100 and the journey began.
