Default my '72

this car was owned by my cousin and his now ex-wife, before I bought it the 1st time. she got it in the divorce, and after a few yrs, she could no longer afford the car. so I bought it, proceeded to pull the 350 out, and install a 383 that I already had and a new clutch and just drove it and beat on it. Decided that I needed a different car, so I sold it to a co-worker. after buying 4 other cars, working on them and selling them. (still own the nova wagon, but that will go this summer). My co worker asks late last yr if I wanted the car back, his wife had blown it up and he was leaving my place of employment. so, I bought it back, and have no intentions of selling it again


this is how I bought it back

Looks like a solid car. Wonder how much your coworkers wife over revved it? Looks she did a number on it.

very solid car, one of the main reasons I wanted the car back.

as far as over rev, not sure how far but I would say plenty. she was revving it up for some of her sons high school friends, and blew out 2 rods.
