Finally posting a pic of mine...the paint is good from 30 feet away, lol. There's rust here and there, and surface rust all underneath. The front and rear windscreens also leak
Mechanically though, it's in tip-top shape. Almost all the brake lines have been replaced, save for the long one going from the distribution block to the rear axle.
ECI front disc brake conversion since I plan to drive it fairly hard
383-2 converted to a 4 bbl, AVS2 1906 on a knockoff Weiand 8008 intake
Suspension rubbers all refreshed, just waiting on the rear shock washers to arrive then I'll finally be able to take it to the exhaust shop to make a nice H-pipe exhaust. So far it's looking like 2.25 inch diameter pipes all the way down.
Firm Feel stage 2 steering box and new steering coupler installed, drives great although the power steering assist seems to sometimes lose strength, I probably need to really crank the steering pump bracket as hard as I can before tightening it.
Electrically, has had the bulkhead connector bypass done, solid state instrument gauge voltage limiter, alternator solid state voltage regulator, FBO ignition box, Carb Cheater, amongst a few other things to make it a great daily.
Shout out to
@65CopCar,
@BuckeyeBarracuda and
@challenger340 - the former two for the 15x7 police steelies and again 65CopCar for sending me some small things out of goodwill, and the latter for the reasonably priced police hubcaps that were in great condition. As well as everyone else that has helped me on this forum, directly and indirectly. Big John and CBODY67 are two I can think off the top of my head, sorry if I've missed you but you know exactly who you are.
All in all, the wheels and the antenna scratch an itch I'm not sure how to describe. It just looks
right.
from Connecticut! Nice car, and the Buick rims didn’t actually look all that bad on it. Best of luck with what you do to it.
Did you talk to the owner?
