I bought the car last summer, from my dad who parked it 2 years before i was born, and it's sat in a garage for 35+ years. This car was my dad's prized possession, we weren't even allowed to breathe on it growing up, so when the opportunity came to buy it, i jumped on it. It came with a ton of extra parts, and 80% of it, is unneeded. The car is in great shape, floors are solid, trunks solid, and interior is in exceptional shape. Since buying it, other than getting it running again, it has sat in my garage and used as a shelf by my wife, until this week when i took it to my buddies shop, and started by power washing it with a Hotsy, to get the 50+ years of sludge off, only to find out the car's in better shape than i could've ever imagined. Ive wanted this car as long as i could remember, and now, at 35 years old, i finally get to dig into it. Im planning on resto modding it, since its not a numbers matching car. It was originally a 383 automatic car, my dad switched it over to a 4 speed. It's got the drivetrain out of a 69 roadrunner. I plan on changing out the 4 speed for a 5 or 6 speed. It's a slow moving project, but i am super excited to take my dad for a ride, and with his failing health, need to get it done sooner than later. Will try to keep posting progress pics.
