    Most of you guys (and galls) are over there on the wrong coast to be concerned about me buying them all, I have passed on a lot of them lately but this one sounded too good to pass on.

    I can only hope car is what he says it is, I had a pretty good conversation with him. At any rate we will post some pictures when we see it.

    Well here a few pics of the car. It is virtually rust free, the hood has zero rust in it anywhere or the trunklid, rear quarters and fenders are perfect, bumpers are shot though good cores or painters.

    He did a top notch job on the suspension with new leafs, new front coils and all the bushings and calipers,rotors and such. Didnt get a pic of the motor yet but it is a thing of beauty bored 30 over with a small cam he couldnt remember what it was, new Weiand intake, new Holley 4160c polished carb, new valve custom fabbed valve covers and new shorty headers.

    He also put a posi in it not sure what kind but he stuck the 2.79 gears back in.

    Here are some pics of the car it is a 69 1/2 something he didnt know until I told him. I will have to teach her how to take better pictures. LOL There is only one ding in the car as shown in picture.

    While I was there I got to see the reason he wanted his shop back, a very nice 57 Ford. Thats a 460 pushing a lot of horses, this car is flawless it was sitting under flourescent lights and the reflection of the tubes was perfectly straight with no orange peal, I had to stand back so I wouldnt get drool on his car

    Way to go mike! It is good to here that there are some good deals to be had out there, eh. I will be waiting for the pix. Make room in the garage, another one is coming home! It sounds like it is definitely a keeper. I am curious about the posi. I would like to see pics on that and the rear sway bar.
