    Welcome to the board!
    11,000 miles originally?
    A survivor for sure. We have a few members from the Vols state.

    Ronald Hopkins is one of the users here from TN.

    I am hoping to make some of the meets,(if I am around, right now I am in California).
    My name is chuck, and my 72 is in need of a complete restro.(in process) it was my wife's grandfathers and he put it in storage (in his garage) in 1978 saving it for my wife, the only problem was he lived in north central minnesota and he did not wash his vehicles. I am hoping to have it completed by late fall. It will be stock except the drive train.
    I have alot of extra parts that I would like to use for swapping.
