I actually pulled this car out of a garage a little west of Watkins Glen
It has had quite the trip. Was delivered to VA when new and has papers in it from NE Louisiana. Widow of owner who started project said it came from a salvage yard on TX OK boarder.
NY is home now and hope to make a trip out your way in the Spring with it.
 
Welcome again from Washington state. Cool project and great color! Here's mine the day I brought it home. Yep, that's a Poly sitting under those carbs. Look familiar?

That would be Great Dan. We camp out your way, on Lake Ontario a few times a year, so maybe catch you out your way too !!!

I was wondering who did your engine work on that beauty ? I've been asking someone locally for some work on my '65 project, but gonna have to look somewhere else for the expertise. Shoot me a PM if you'd rather than posting it here. Thanks !!!
 
Welcome from KY! I just recently got my first B-body as well, '66 Coronet 500 Vert. I am getting ready to take her back to an original 383. Can't wait to see you progress.
 
OMG
that is beautiful!
What vendor supplied interior ?

Well @DanDokken , that's a good question and will be the subject of another thread. I think it might be from a 66 or 67 Satellite, but I plan to get pics and post them up for discussion/input. The car wasn't built by the guy I got it from, and he didn't know anything about it. He wasn't a car guy and gave it away IMO. Hope you got all the trim - those pieces are hard to find!
 
Had the 383 Stroker on the dyno today
I am very impressed with the small Howard’s Rattler cam and knockoff heads.
Here are the numbers
