A small SUV -- newer car. I would estimate they were going a solid 40-50 mph...while staring at their shoes.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Still looking for the right body shop. I guess my concern is twofold. First will it be cost prohibitive to repair it? We're not talking about a 1 of 1 hemi car with some special VIN code that was blessed by the Pope as it rolled off of the assembly line at...

Thank you. Luckily escaped with just a broken leg. Could have been way, way worse.

Heartbreaking, to say the least. The car was stopped and hit by a distracted driver. Another one bites the dust...Looking like a total loss. If anyone knows of a body shop in Pennsylvania/Ohio/New York area with a 1970 B-Body jig, please let me know. Otherwise, this one might end up becoming a...

Got it. Thank you!

Thanks for the replies. Definitely looking like an e body set. Does anyone know what the bar with wires attached to it is? Is that for a heated seat?

They did come with the back seat as well, which I can confirm is a few inches more narrow than the back seat on my 70 RR.

This is what I'm afraid of...

Picked these up at Carlisle Seller did not know what they were out of, but thought perhaps a later (71-74) B-Body. I can't seem to find a match. Hoping someone can shed some light on the mystery...

Thanks for all of the responses. They've really helped to validate my sanity through this ordeal. I was able to complete a compression test with the Comp XE268H-10 cam today, and the results were stunningly low across the board, considering we have the domed KB pistons. In order of the cylinder...

One cylinder had approx 160 lbs. the rest had 180 lbs. The cam was not degreed on installation. The local engine builder told us it was not necessary. ??? He also said that the one cylinder with the 160 lbs. compression probably didn't seat the rings well, and it was nothing to worry about. Also...

Resurrecting this old thread looking for some more advice because two and a half years later, we still haven't gotten this car to run very well. In the meantime, here's what we've done: Added a Hughes 2400 rpm 11" stall converter Removed the Hughes 440 Whiplash cam because the engine builder...

Looking for a good set of 383 HP manifolds. Date codes not important. Preferably no cracks. PM me with prices. Thanks!

Looking for someone who knows a bit about carb rebuilding and tuning in western, PA. (near Clarion county would be great!) I bought an Edelbrock Thunder AVS 650 on a mildly built (.40 over, Hughes Whiplash cam) 383 that we can not get to run right no matter what we try. It keeps dumping fuel...

Still looking for a good used set of 383 HP manifolds. PM me with cost + shipping to 16248.
