My latest acquisition!
I discovered this ol' girl sitting rocker deep in the weeds. Of course the guy was "going to do something with it someday", but with a little CONvincing, 250 bucks and a case of beer she was mine. She has the original 221 with a two speed Mercomatic!
Flushed the fuel system, installed a new ignition switch, coil, starter solenoid, battery leads and plug wires, primed her up with go juice, and imagine that, she fired right up. Added some tranny fluid and she drives!
The doors are rusted, but the rest of the car is awesome. Need one tail light, rocker chrome on pass side, and the piece below the tail light. Should be able to repair the rest. Of course Mickey and his buddies got the interior, but that is par for the course.
I have lots of "projects" but the better half doesn't particularly approve of all of them. This one however she likes and wants fully finished in Raven Black, red interior and big fat shiny shoes touchin' the pavement!
Hope you like.
