OK I have seen many olds on here and I guess its time to just fess up. I have yet to see one like mine so here goes. There are some real good original cars here, and some nice mods that complement olds. Some are cheesy as all get out with new drop in engines-not olds!, tweaked out, some are just plain silly. So, I offer mine up for you to compare.
Here are the obvious changes.
Paint: ALL BLACK, tossed the moldings and landau top.
T-TOPs
Mileage: 73k Orignal. Seriously found in barn. Drove home on rear brakes only.
Changed out the JC Penny spark plugs, yes thats right JCPenny used to have a auto service center in many midwest towns.
For the real deal now...
All new brake lines from inline tube. Master cylinders, pads, calipers, balancers rear rebuild.
All new bearings.
All new bushings from Hyper flex.
All new suspension dropped 1/2" from suspension techniques.
Dual exhausts, dual hump cross member from 73 cutlass.
64cc heads 7a's. with 3 angle valve job bore down.
New cam from engle, 474 lift-tried to keep to older olds specs without having to put a troq converter in.
Scrapped the 2.41 gears and now running 3.42 posi.
Edlebrock performer RPM intake.
Junked the egr crap.
New radiator, hoses and the usual you would expect from a good rebuild.
New carpet inside.
Yokohama direction tires staggered front to rear.
Centerline 17's.
Oh yes, Its pretty sick. And just one tickle of the throttle will wake this along with anyone around up.
