So, what did you find out? Get her running? Better question -- how did your test go?

Do you have a compression tester gauge? Remove spark plugs, screw tester into one of the holes and crank...repeat for each cylinder.....see what the numbers look like. I cant see how a head gasket could be OK and fine one minute then be blown just after sitting. You sure you have GOOD...

Yep, what he said. I did the same thing (72 Barracuda)...paint and body were done and was about 75% complete, but needed lots of mechanical stuff and interior.....I got her together good enough to drive around last summer and then over the winter rebuilt the front end suspension, etc. Little...

No idea of the VIN on the car it was from........

So did you get it for a steal? (No pun intended) Cant believe no one else had looked at it and did the same process you did! That was just meant to be!

I dont know nothing about the engine ....or if its a good deal... But why is it that the most favorite saying out there , when a seller is trying to sell something is "You cant build it that cheap!"....seems to be a favorite of 440 folks......at least from what I have seen lately in my...

Thats a real good idea! I was thinking old front fenders too...
