Hello Guys,
Well I have finally got all the pics lined up and in photobucket for you guys to look at. Polara71 knows this car and he has been very very helpful in helping me with questions on it. It is going to get rolling this winter and hopefully will be back on the road soon. I have picked up a parts car which will give me a new front stub, drivers door, and lower patch panels to cut that bondo out and get some good panels back in. It is the only HIC color 440 vert made and it is a 2 fender tag car with a Q on the VON for public relations. The sheet unfortunelty was gone except for the bottom right hand corner so we could not see what the Public relations was for. The car had an old Ohio title and it got me wondering if the original owner might have been the owner of the Bengals as he bought a new V2 colored dodge every year or so and I have seen the documented 70 super bee V2 six pack car he had. :thinker:
I still want to try to do a title search backwards on the car to see if I can see the original owner. Does anyone know if Ohio keeps those records as I have a copy of the old title still with the 2 previous owners on it??
But back to the car. It is not a total rust bucket but it needs frame stub and then the back trunk area around the wheel wells was fiberglassed long ago. It has held well but I feel it should come out and good metal go in. Floors are all good on the car. It needs a new top obviously and all the soft materials.
Engine is not #'s matching and is a 71 block. It runs but I have a nice rebuilt 1977 440 on the stand that I will swap in. Hopefully I do not run into alot of issues on it but I am sure I will. If anyone has any input I would greatly appreciate the help and if anyone knows any more history on the car let me know. Thanks and check out the pics. The ones where it is dirty are the new ones with all the dust on it where Polara71 sent me some from the car back around year 2000. You can see how the rust has spread in the rockers over the last 14 years and a passenger door got hammer by an atv.
