| Notes: |
Built in Atlanta in 10-1969, it was the 40,881st car built in ATL. Sold in Bentonville, ARK in 1970.
Orginally two-tone: Bright Gold Metallic w/ While Roof Paint; it may be repainted this way when it's time for a repaint (it's prolly past due)
This is my daily driver.
Resto-goals, including resto-mods:
*added 3/2: upgrade brakes -- get a power booster.
1.) Repaint, perhaps to factory original colors
2.) Reinstall A/C -- had factory air, but everything has been disconnected and removed, including condensor and heater core
3.) Stereo mod -- it has original AM and factory dash speaker, which is brain death on long trips; actually the antenna is broken and reception, other than static, is nil.
4.) If/when top-half is rebuilt, convert to four barrel carb and exhaust
5.) Find a camper shell

Maintenance & Modification Logs
| Date | Type | Mileage | Title / Description | $ Amount | | 03/04/07 | Modification | 94585 | Antenna
I got a replacement mast that screws over the broken stud. We'll see if it improves reception, so I can put the stereo modification on the back burner for a while. Especially with a looming trip to the front end shop. | 8.62 | | 03/02/07 | Fuel | 94570 | Fuel
I doubt I'll keep up with this, but it'd be neat to know how many gallons I use (cost, too). I put in premium this time, but I think regular 87 octane is enough. I also didn't fill it up, just enough to test the resealed tank's integrity. Seems great, so far.
10.225 gallons @ $2.619 (ouchies) | 26.78 | | 02/27/07 | Repair | 94750 | Brake Repair
Rear brake shoes were not centered on drums correctly. The shoes wee also on backwards. Cleaned and serviced fronts and turned drums on the front. Installed new grease seals and adjusted all brakes. @ $280.00
2 Front Drum Seals @ $8.72
1 Rear Brake Shoe @ $43.69
Turn Front Drum @ $20.00 (L) | 352.41 | | Total | 387.81 |
