Nice!! Nova for sale??

It sold right away 2 years ago.

Back in the old days when I had time I used to do 1 resto a year on average. Now I can not even finish mine.

Nothing restored....but edited, yes

Used to take the bus, but it got too crowded and I found myself not getting off in time and having to walk for blocks after missing my stop, so I decided to take the commuter train and I can just jump when I need to. If this ever gets old, I might get an elephant or some other fuel efficient means.

I think I passed you (your car) on 25 the other week. I was heading South and you would have been North about 6/6:30 pm.

Sweet! Let's see the Benz and the truck!

I'll post a pic of my other truck (new one) and the race car later.

This is mine, nothing special, but great for banging around in the bush.
Gonna go full matte black soon, just to see how it looks.

It only gets about 300 miles a year on it.

71 340 RT

416 Stroker (340 block)
Super Street fighter trans w/ 2800 stall
391 Sure Grip
Slap Stick (pistol)
3" 2 chamber FM

With stock sized tires, no rear sway bar, drums, no power brakes.....

Its scary to drive! ALL over the road with a bad tendency to leave the road sideways with little to no warning.

Im planing a color change something in the next few years. 20 years ago when I painted it, plumb sounded cooler than it does now.

 

[noregrets]

Nice!!

 

[Scott Reynolds]

Nice!!

Thanks.

To be honest, with the small tires, low gears, big motor and lose converter, the car is too unpredictable. When I do the color change, the motor is coming out and a stock 340 w/11" converter is going in it. The motor/trans is going to be moved over into a 79 LiL Red Express. Believe it or not, a 79 Dodge truck handles much better than an old E body.. :Big Laugh
