'65 Project...

[Krooser]

Bought this two weeks ago... doing a social security budget friendly rust-o-ration. No high dollar parts... getting a used 1989's vintage $100 318 (for now), maybe a cut and buff and some touch up paint. And a 4 speed conversion.

I have one original fender and one in old primer.

Got a 340 to install after it gets a new sleeve. Found an 833 4 speed, A body bellhousing, grille parts and a bumper..

This will be on the road in the spring. This car was in a barn for 40 years. Sold st suction two months ago. Buyer flipped it ..still has two other B bodies he bought at the same sale.

Really wanted a Satellite... but I got a great deal..couldn't pass this up.

I have its twin, minus much of the rust plus I have all the sheet metal. Ha. SS budget for now too. I was able to stock up on many parts and supplies 10+ years ago so thats what's keeping me busy when I have time for the car.

I found the grill parts plus the hood hinges and bumper. I have the rest of the front clip. Need seats. Just bought an 833 and bellhousing. Needs a floor patch or two. Got a running 318 for $100...

Have a picture of the trans? Make sure you didn't get an a-body unit.

I haven't picked it up yet....it's a 68 or 69 with the two shifter mounting pads for B and E bodies.

On the hunt...
