I was going to mention it being a small block. When are we throwing in the big block? I'm available and my busted butt is doing pretty good, not perfect yet but getting better.

WHAT!!!!!! The stinkin clock doesn't work? Bring that piece of junk back for a FULL refund!

And here I was looking for a place to store my car. I can just drive up to Tony's, park it in one of those garage doors and he might not even notice. Well until I come to pick it up in the spring.

It's too nice and original to change anything, or I'm sure Tony would have done it. In fact I think he had a a LT1 he wanted to put into it but decided not to.
ha, you'd like that now that you thought about it more.

If you could get it past the dogs and get a car cover on it, you could probably get away with it, but if he found it during the winter he might make a 10 sec pro-street out it

Hank...I bought the car a few years ago. I looked for a while for a very nice second gen that I could do an engine, trans, suspension upgrade to. After I got it here and had a good look at it, I got to thinking that is was too nice of a car to take apart. I know Darwin Clark. He came up and looked at it. He changed my mind somewhat about leaving it alone. He said it was a museum piece, and he should know. Here's a little info on him.

Darwin has some nice cars. He's also the head of one of the museums in Arizona. I had a healthy LT1 from the Nova, a fresh M20, a new scattershield, and some other stuff for it. I think the car is one of the nicest, unmolested originals in the Country. The interior is like new, the glass, trim, sheet metal, all the small clamps, are just about perfect too. The valve covers and the air cleaner are not original, but the originals came with the car. So did all 4 CL steel wheels, with the original baby moon hub caps. Not a single speck of rust, ever, on the car either. POP, dealer ordering sheet, all registrations from new are included. I am sure that Ric will make the car better than it is now.

Ms. Grumpy...Every garage stall here is full. I'd put up another building if the stinking Township would let me. They say I have too many garages now. Pashaw, we all need more garage space.

I was just kidding on the engine Tony. I saw the car and I knew what your original plans were. I agree it would be same to change anything on it, probably has the original air in the tires. :D

I figured that Hank. Like Ric said though, there is a hell of a difference in the feel of a BB over that low-horse small block. When you coming up for a beer?

The car is not perfect, everyone keeps forgetting that the clock does not work, so with that defect I can start ripping it apart....maybe some louvers on the side, some curb feelers, some 24" spinners and tires and a blower air cleaner sticking out the hood...I'm charging my zaw saw as we speak.

Now yer talkin Ric! Git 'er done!!
