My old car from the last thread was just as you say. Old paint and interior (But still in good shape) even though I did change the seats. Rhino trans full of old Berg and Crown parts, and a 2007 IDA motor with welded heads, Mance crank, 140 cam and too much compression. Also had tinted flat h-light covers, Lucas signals, Hurst shifter, Motolita wheel, Pioneer Supertuner, Aluminum dash and Cockpit gauges.

This one's been sitting inmy shop for TOO LONG!
Need to get the plant back together so I can have a DD.
I replaced the headlight rings with some decent SB12s and THAT'S IT! ... well, except for the broken rear window.

Cool story behind this one ...

Well, Tim, since you asked ...  Wink Cheesy

We built this car about 14 years ago for a customer ... paint, interior, motor, trans, suspension, brakes; everything over about a 12 month period.
Paint was redone after an 'incident' involving the right front quarter along with the interior which is white.
Brakes were refreshed stock units. Front end was rebuilt with Jatech (remember them?) lowered spindles and I reset the rear suspension for proper alignment & stance (sagging).
Motor was a 1776 with Berg-prepped semi-hemi stock heads, hydraulic cam and lifters (w100-like), Kadrons and Berg/Phoenix dual-QP exhaust. Trans was rebuilt by David Crow to stock specs.
It was a cool daily-driver ... one of my personal faves being it's a '67 sunroof. Drove super nice and ran like a swiss watch.
After 4 years or so, never saw it again.

Fast forward about 8 years later ... a guy calls and wants a buyers-check done on a bug he saw at a garage sale that's "been sitting for a while".
Somehow or another I got the owners name from the guy and realized it was most likely this car.
Made the call to find it was indeed ... "Still for sale?", "Yep, sure is!", "I'll be right over ..."
Deal was done before I got out of the truck ... saw it from behind sitting in the garage & had to have it (had been looking for a DD for myself). Price was right so I wrote the check.
Had been sitting outside for a few years then I think he made room in the garage after the rear window got broken, but not before it had rained in it a few times ... Ugh.

The cool part to me was I had actually built it so many years ago ... not so very long though. Wink
