I plan on making a custom intake and headers for it, and possibly porting and polishing it. It has a stock 258 straight six. I am going to put a ford 9" under the rear, hook it up with a shot of NOS, and build a custom roll cage for it. I was thinking of restoring it, but it really doesn't have much value as a collectible. I do plan on keeping the current engine in it, but it's gonna be a beast when I get around to working on it. It's been sitting for a few years, because of transmission problems. However now that I am out of WyoTech, I am going to get around to fixing it up a lot sooner. Well if you read this far, than keep an eye out for more to come.
Ok so, plans have changed on this ride. Not gonna do all the custom intake and such for it. I do still plan on souping it up, but by different means. At the moment 5-15-10, I'm waiting for another engine, so I'll at least have it to drive until I can find the stuff I want to build the engine with. I'm going to rebuild the original block, with a stouter crank, rods, and pistons. Then I'm going to put a 4.0 ltr. cylinder head on the 4.2 ltr. block, and fuel injection. Of course I'll have to upgrade the rear end to put up with the extra horses that'll be going to it, hence the ford 9". And if I can find one, I'm going to put a manual trans in it, probably a 4 speed.
Here's the Green Machine just after I got it. I Traded some guy for it. Just after my 280z got repoed I did a tattoo on him for it, I only got to finish the outline before he took off, I told him to come back and have it finished but he never did.
And This is after I pimped it slightly. I got the windows tinted, and bought some of those Wal-Mart special hubcaps, which just happened to get stolen while I was at Wal-Mart in Bentonville.You can see the only blemishes on the things right side. The lower trim on the front door, and the dent on the rear quarter panel behind the wheel.
You can see the trash bag hanging out of the rear of it. That is to keep the hornets out of it. Because I once locked my keys in it, so I broke out the rear lock to get into it.It cracks me up that it only has the wood grain trim on it in the rear. I've been thinking of painting it silver where it's green and black where the brown and woodgrain is, keeping the original paint scheme, but eliminating the trim.
I found these hubcaps at a local car lot in Yellville for 40 bucks.
