Awwww! So cute! It wouldn’t be Christmas without the young ones!

Merry Christmas to all of FBBO!

I’d go modern. The complexity and weight of the factory setup, and finding all the parts would be tough. I saved a bunch of C body parts, as they all seemed equipped up here in the NE. It was rare to see a B body with it, and to be honest… was a car I wasn’t interested in back in the 80’s.

I wish I was down there! I’m at 60yo getting weary of the North East winters.

From salty Pennsylvania.

They don’t have stainless steel inserts?

Sad that these cars have just become something you see once or maybe twice a year… rolled off a trailer, and into a spot to just sit. Boring.

I’ve been driving the 383 in this since 2004. It’s been my daily everyday since 2014. All I’ve ever put in the tank is 93 unleaded. The engine’s never been apart, and doesn’t burn much of the Mobile 10w-40 I put in it.

Yes. E87 D21.

It looks better without the vinyl top.

I do remember seeing a few “clutch-flites” as a kid in the late 70’s. By the early 80’s converters got better.

In my experience, usually dirt and worms.

I saw the clutch pedal. Obviously not factory if an original U code. I’d add the 4 speed, even though it’s a cast crank, again if original. Actually… I’d drop one of the forged cranks I have laying around in it. I guess 9 1/4” rear.

Sad. I enjoyed his contributions. We’re losing a lot of knowledge.

I must be old. It looks to me that all the good parts have been picked.
