| Notes: |
Came from Pennsylvania, minor rusting in the smugglers box. Russ had to clean a ton of crap from the drains which had pine needles, sand, mouse nests etc. all crammed in.
The headliner got chewed in a few spots by mice so that was taken out. The carpet was BADLY fitted so that came out too. Some jhad also welded a second exhaust pipe stub to make it look like a dual exhaust (they did a damn good job too, that thing was almost impossible to take off).
The interior is pretty good other than that with a couple of AWESOME Camaro bucket seats and a nice dash. The fuel gauge and horn don't work so there's a button under the steering wheel.
The clutch pedal is still intact (albeit it's a bit rusty) and there's an odd little flip switch under the steering wheel opposite the horn. There were a lot of wires just hanging in tight bundles so we know someone did a ton of modifications to the original wiring.
We're thinking of replacing the old 200 with a 302 that Russ built during the winter. He also wants to put in a 4 speed manual transmission. The 200 is probably barely pushing 100 horsepower and the choke is a bit messed up, the 302 is expected to push 315 or so with all new heads, intake and exhaust manifolds and a nice big Holley 4 Barrel carb on top. |
