Thank guys. I appreciate the welcome.
I was driving down a SC back road on the way to my nieces birthday party and she was sitting on the side of the road.
I wasn't really looking but it was just one of those moments.....the sun was shining on the car and I swear it looked like it had one of those halos around it with music going off in my head. I had my family in the car and did not stop on the way there. However, on the way back I had to stop.....the rest is history.
She's a 72 137D. Best I can tell, she was an original SS mediterranian blue. F-41 suspension, original SS dash, 12 bolt rear, glove box light, etc.. Original motor code is J for 350 4 barrel but she now has a 396/402 built motor out of a 68 impala (origination not verified) with a turbo 400 trans. Original owner swears he thinks the th400 is original to the car but I'm having a hard time believing that one.
She's not in perfect condition, but it gives me a lot of things to work on with the kids. Looking forward to going to some car shows and spending time with the family.
My 2 year old son has already claimed "the car with the stripes is mine".
Agian, thanks for the welcome and I hope to pick up a lot of good information from this site.
