...25 miles away.

My commute is double that, 1 way and we're 15-20 minutes "from town"; I get it.

I'm certainly not complaining. Just pointing out that I'm close to almost nothing good. It's an excuse to go for a ride.

But you're far from lots of bad, so....rejoice.

Just read through this for the first time. That thing is cleeeaaannn! I was about to offer you the 425 I have stored under my bench but you got a much better deal. Plus im in Ohio.

Btw im not sure if its been said.....I REALLY LIKE THE STOCK HUBCAPS

 

[DRIVEN]

Much appreciated.

Those hubcaps.

Good score on the 425!
The C heads are good ones to use if you don't want to pony up for aftermarket right away...

After I got cleaned up from yardwork we ran down the road to try a new BBQ place. It's 97* today. For all you guys that don't have working AC, fix it. It's awesome!

I've really taken the reliability of this thing for granted. It sits for weeks or, more typically, months at a time but always fires right up and never gives me any hassle. I truly wouldn't be afraid to drive this car anywhere at a moment's notice.

I just can't ignore cheap parts...

So now I'm the proud owner of a 2nd Toronado drivetrain. This one is a 455, near as I can tell it's probably a '72. Not even sure it's got any core value until I open it up...some day. Maybe.

Depends on whether it's a boat anchor or not.
