Oh how frickin sad!!!!! I cracked my high school ride up drinking and driving on my 21st bday. HELLUVA HIGH SPEED CHASE!!! Lucky no one was hurt but my ride. Ah live and learn. Needless to say I felt so ashamed about that happening I refused to let it go and 1 week after my 21st birthday I towed it to my grampas farm and here is how it sits 13 years later. I have had many offers but refuse to sell it before I drive it one more time. I wanted to fix her all up as a grown up adult and feel proud that I learned from my mistakes and still have the car I took my date to the prom in.
This was the first car I ever bought. $950.00 in 1990. My how the times have changed!
The motor is a rebuilt 400 bored 30 over with a 74 Trans Am intake, A holley 750 DP, HEI, Accel Supercoil, and some other goodies. It had less then 300 miles on the rebuild when I pushed her to the limit. (130 MPH through a red light intersection with on coming traffic, drunk is not as cool as one might think!)
Floated the valve train, smashed the fenders, hosed the front suspension and maybe tweaked the frame, (don't know yet).
The tranny has only about 400 miles on a rebuild with a shift kit. TH400.
SOOOOOO....drive train is salvageable. Body?????? I have a new bumber, grill, trim, dash, rear deck lid and hoards of other parts.
ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND A FRONT CLIP OR REAR QUARTERS, Somewhat reasonable?????
Anyway cleaned it of last time I was there and have prepared first steps to unearth and rebuild!!!!!!
More to come.
