    I found this 73 Sunday, about 35 miles from my house,just happened to see it sitting out in a back yard. I stopped and ask if it was for sale and the lady priced it. I didnt think it would run,but her son just had the head reworked,put a battery on it fired right up. I am going to to get the parts I need and want, and sell the rest.

    Interesting that the car has 6 cylinder but it has 5 lugs axles. Wonder if it was originally a V8 car
