MY PARENTS PUCHASED THE CAR FOR ME IN 1984.IT WAS MY FIRST CAR. IT WAS GREEN AND HAD A SLANT SIX WITH A THREE SPEED TRANS. THAT MOTOR DIDN'T LAST LONG AND I WENT THROUGH SEVERAL MOTORS AFTER THAT. I DROVE IT TO HIGH SCHOOL FOR 2 YEARS AND TO WORK SEVERAL YEARS AFTER THAT. ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN THE GARAGE AND START WORKING ON IT. I DID THE BODY WORK AND HAD IT PAINTED ORANGE,I WANTED TO MAKE A DRAG CAR OUT OF IT BUT THE CAR JUST SAT IN THE GARAGE FOR YEARS. THE ONLY SUN IT SAW WAS WHEN I BACKED IT OUT INTO THE DRIVE WAY. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I WANTED START DRIVING IT AGAIN OR SELL IT. MY WIFE AND KIDS DIDN'T WANT ME TO SELL IT SO I TAGGED AND INSP IT AND WE STARTED TO GO TO CAR SHOWS AND CRUISED AROUND IN IT. THE MOTOR SPUN A ROD BEARING, SO ON DECEMBER 3, 2006 I PULLED THE MOTOR AND SENT THE BLOCK TO THE MACHINE SHOP AND STARTED ORDERING PARTS. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER A REAL GOOD FRIEND OF MINE HELPED ME PUT IT TOGETHER FOR WHAT IS A FUN RIDE TODAY. I PUT A 416ci SMALL BLOCK WITH A 727 TRANS AND 456 GEARS IN THE REAR.
