Notes: |
I bought this car for $300 2 days before my birthday and i was going to use it as a demoliton derby car. When the seller lead to where it was (behind his house) I was expecting to see a rusted out heap. But instead I see this 2 door medium blue beauty. The body is almost all rust free except just inside drivers front fender where this is a hole te size of a dime and passenger inside wheel well again a hole size of a dime. It has a newer vinyl top, new rubber on all for corners and been oil sprayed. The interior is amost imaculate the dash has no cracks or fades the seats are the same (no rips or faded) but the one downfall is that the roof liner is basically toast.
About 2 weeks after I had it on my way to work I threw a connecting rod. Now she is in a bay up on blocks waiting for me to pull that crippled 460 out and find another one to put in. I can't find one. I am hoping to have her back on the road for the spring or summer and bring her to a couple cruises.
If anyone can help on getting another 460 please e-mail me. I live in southwest Ontario. I can travel about and hour or 2 away. I won't trust my truck to go farther* |
