Had this one sitting on the back burner for a few years. ..Figured it was time to break it out of dry storage in Arizona. When i bought it 4 years ago....It came off the Navajo Reservation with an Edelbroke 600 and an old SP2P intake. It had 2 stuck valves that have started moving again since driving it on and off the trailer a few times.....even stopped blowing the blue cloud of death. Tranny was freshly rebuilt too. But best of all....damn near perfect sheet metal. The truth to that will be seen after the dip job when painting time comes. But all I have found is a dollar sized bubble in the paint on the driver's 1/4 panel behind the wheel well. The rockers and cross members are all perfect.
It's a November 1968 Lynch Rd product. Numbers matching 318 and TF904...HD manual drum brakes,power steeing, SG 3.23, originally B3 exterior with dark blue cloth split bench and carpet, light blue door cards and dash.
My ultimate goal is to modernize the drive train with a 392 or Hell Crate..but that's down the road a bit. I aquired a motorhome 78 440 with 30k miles, the motor home 727...and a fresh unused rebuilt Hemi TF727, a nice used pair of Headmann coated headers, a Holley 3310 (freshly rebuilt now), Performer RPM, and a slightly used black Legendary interior. I've got a line on a slightly used set of Stealths and 440s roller rockers with all the shims/spacers/billet hold downs..(he is upgrading to Indys). Intent is cruising....maybe DOT drag night 1/4 mile a few times a year....we shall see.
