It's original, kind of dry at the edges where it hides under the trim, other than that it's in pretty good shape.

lucky bastard......so where's the big hairy burnout?

All one wheel of it? I still have to get the carb tuned right. Right now if I jump on it too hard it either backfires, or sputters. Up to about half throttle she's good though.

 

[Basketcase]

I'm fine with one leggers:drive: and a few WOT passes are probably just what that car needs from sitting.

 

[pinkpanthr]

No burnouts or WOT passes today. Just a few tire chirps as I got on the highway.

It must have felt good to get it out for a while. I put over 200 more miles on my car today and I really enjoyed the ride.

 

[69383RR]

Must have been fun , looking forward to getting ours out some day :sorrow:

Hopefully your car is not numbers matching. Why? I've heard that for every mile one drives it reduces the cars value by $1. :rimshot:

 

[Basketcase]

If that's true, I could care less. I bought my car to drive. Let the next owner worry what it's worth, but I already told The Boss I want buried in it.

Did you say somewhere on here that your bird was an automatic that you wanted to put a four speed in ? I'm asking because I have a project like that around the corner .

As far as I know it' numbers matching! With that said I'm not concerned. I didn't buy the car as an investment. I bought it to do just what I'm doing, to drive it and enjoy it. And that's what I will continue to do. In fact it may make that trip one more time this year. But then there's a problem. I have 2 A bodies that I enjoy driving so I may take one of those instead.

do like I do with my steam engines, just rotate them, that way they all get run.

Not sure who you were asking, but mine is a 4-speed.

 

[Basketcase]

so's mine. at least I think it is, kinda hard to remember after all this time.

 

[69383RR]

I remember now ! It was Moparmonk .
