Picked this car up from a friend I have known since Elementary school and hung out with since High School.
It has sat for about 15 or 18 years.
We built the car in high school then again after.
Installed the gauges after the new engine build and it only has 560 or so miles on the odometer. :lol:
Currently it has 455 with roller cam, lifters, rockers, high output heads, aluminum intake with Holley 750 carb and headers that were reworked to work with that engine.
The TH400 was built as well as the rear end. It has a 9" rear with detroit locker and strange axles if I remember correctly.
I happened to be in the car YEARS AGO when he was doing a burnout and hit second gear shattering the stock rear. 😱 Had to walk home to get the trailer on that one.
The car will stay in his garage until after the first of the year. That is when we will get into our new house and garage.
The plan is to change all fluids, install new fuel lines, brake lines, hoses, belts, etc... and get the car running. Have some fun and tinker with it.
Here are some pictures I took last night.
Lots of work but a great platform to start with.
