The story

purchased in 2002 at the Pomona swapmeet, overhauled front susp, had to remove rockers from cyl#7 because it just bellowed smoke on acceleration, drove like that until new 289 was finished and trans, gave to me step son, he ended up just parking it for the last 2 1/2 years ended up impouned - he never registered it, so i picked it up 6/05/07 and looks like im going to keep it. already rebuilt rear brakes, and axle seals, painted engine bay, getting body ready for paint. — cmalves1
