major piles,reporting for duty

[BeatersRus]

so we said no more piles right?
and then we bought this
could use some help finding a decoder for the fender tag?
we are trying to decipher the engine and rear gear ratio.
and what exactly do you call the fender extensions on these?
d side is smashed beyond repair.

Are you C body Bobs brother? He has a knack of finding them too

 

[BeatersRus]

yeah we hit all those already but cant find the axle breakdown.
i managed to cross it with the dodge charger decoder and it came out as a 2:76 rear gear?
thank you tho for the links.
appears to be a plain jane economy 383 2bbl auto

Not a sure grip from the factory at least.

 

[stubs300]

I'd strip it for parts, then take the rest of it to the county fair with a sledge and a sign saying "3 whacks for $1"!

Say what you will about the prior owner, he was committed to bass.

 

[BeatersRus]

yeah we originally went there to buy it for parts and the owner pretty much threw in all the trim and dash radiator,etc etc.
really nice guy,and he has a sweet convertible.
i urged him to join up and hang with you guys here.
he says he needs some convertible parts too.

anyways,we might smallblock this and ratrod it,
its got new brakes and lines and so forth.
needs patches and plenty of work too.
price was right,altho it sucks hearing it isnt a suregrip and the owner swears it laid twin stripes all the time.
i figure the rebuilt trans with paperwork was worth what we paid for the entire car,with paper too.

heres some limited pics of his car.

That car is 50 years old, it could absolutely have a sure grip in it. Maybe the first time it was driven in the winter made a P.O. get one installed.
Travis..

got the car home this weekend.
deffo has a limited slip,both wheels spin the same direction.
bb trans came with rebuild receipt for over 1100.
already pulled that out and reset the hood.
brakes work,he gave us most of the car trim and tbh,this is a good one to beater up.
needs patches roof work and a good rimset.
price was 700 bucks,with title.
one mans junk is another mans gold.
