Well I've been in northern Illinois lurking and sucking up info for a long time and thought now was the time to share. This car was won on a bet with my wife. I found it on ebay years ago as a basket case and have been picking up pieces as money allows. It will not be a pristine perfect car, just something fun to play with. I hope to have it on the road this spring/summer. I think it was a drag car for a while. There were a few extra holes in the trunk and one bottom leaf spring was cut short just on one side

Welcome to FBBO from NorCal
 
Welcome from Ct. Nice looking car, gold is a great color.
 
There were a few extra holes in the trunk and one bottom leaf spring was cut short just on one side
The extra half spring was part of the heavy duty package on 440 and 426 cars. I believe it was on the passenger side.
 
One of my FAV body styles of ALL TIME!
GREAT COLOR!

Welcome aboard and thanks for joining the Forum!
 
Hi,
Really nice car - my car was also Gold from the factory ...
The paint was really faded ... so nice to see a car with nice paint to judge if I like the color or not !
