Neat beater. I'd turn it out on the street!
Looks like it's supercharged?

If you had offered it before I sold my wagon I would have been very interested!

Mild rat rod? It's not beat up and only rust on it is the right rear lower quarter and it's minor. I'd had the doors and fenders off of it and they are mint! This is the car that I got down to 2950 from 3370 while driving it and using the factory AC. /6, auto and I stuffed in an 8 3/4 with 4.10 gears
LOL....meant to remove that oil pan back half before I took the pic. I use that to test the rear main seal before buttoning up a big block.Looks like it's supercharged?

I bet you could keep it under 3,000 with a big block with aluminum heads, intake, water pump housing, water pump, etc…This is the car that I got down to 2950 from 3370 while driving it and using the factory AC. /6, auto and I stuffed in an 8 3/4 with 4.10 gears
Had all of that....until my last wife decided to divorce me. Thing is, she leaving was the best thing that ever happened to me!!
Wish I could!! Read above....

Now that she’s gone it should be easier to get all that stuff back!
if weeds around it get taller than the tires you’d better gift it away

Did you have to dig it out?
That's where I'm at with my 67 wagon.
I'm itchin' to work on it but I only have so many free hours.
Just gettin all the stuff off the roof and clearing a path to the doors took two weekends.
...and then I haven't had any time until yesterday...
...and my wife picked up that bolt...

I think this is the $325 profit mark, after paying for it's self.
Almost didn't have the right weights, but found the exact one I needed right on the top of the unsorted weights pile.
I got the "heavy spot" mark on the tire directly across from the pre-installed stick on weights from last time, and the it cancelled the inside. Skated on that.
I believe it's plus $150 on the balancer.
They've been a good investment.
That hunk of steel on top of the tire changer is a test spray of a red that's close enough to use for a partial refurb.
Some day...
I learned something about hyundai rims today....
The groove is not in the middle.
It's near the outer edge.
Gotta hold the tire oddly to not rip the bead.
But went much more smoothly this time.

That tire needed replacing anyway...and by the wear, an alignment.
Btw, my wife got a bolt that looked about that size......only it went in head first!! Discount Tire wouldn't touch it but found a 'rat' shop that had the right stuff to fix it. Fairly new tire but being used as the spare now.
Sittin on concrete slab....
Wasn't too bad...but there were two other vehicles blocking it in so it wasn't easy to get around it.
