The story

Got at an auction in VA for $2300 with 122,000 miles on it and no rust. Only had one owner before me and never saw road salt before I brought it to Michigan. Apparently the original owner traded it in because the trans was going out. I got another 60,000 miles out of it and then the compression went bye bye. Got rid of the tired old 302 in favor of a built 351W.

As soon as I get a welder I plan on making a custom rear bumper(Big Mike style from FSB) and sliders. I'll probably come up with a front bumper too but that will be a while. — Bob Kulhanek
