My old bitch. Got it from my pops about 10 years ago. He bought it from the original owner in '74. So I'm the 3rd owner of the 34 year old hotrod. I've got all the original docs somewhere here. window sheet, bill of sale, owners manual, warrantee book, the whole 9 yards. anyways its been dormant for many years now time to get it out of mothballs..............

paint&stripes are original, glass is original........that sticker on the windshield is a parking pass from the university of Calgary in '74.......the tires on it are bias ply goodyears put on in 1980. No it hasn't been driven much. but thats going to change..............

Oh man........its 30 freaking below here now with a pending -47c windchill............and I just finished putting a new motor in the car and the new rims and tires on.........


I tell ya, I know I got some "WTF is that guy doing" looks when I was test driving the car a 2am on a Monday morning Yes the motor is very strong and the posi is very tight.........and now it sucks rocks trying to drive it in the snow.

Beautiful car. Too be in that great of condition and being that old. You must have had a great summer with that thing. I used to have one of those but it was just a rolling chassis/empty shell that I got from a friend for next to nothing. Then I got stupid and traded it for an 83 Trans Am. I still kick myself for doing that.

By the way, have you gotten a hold of your brother yet? About the wheels?

 

[DEMON44]

Thanks guys. just got back from a cruise too. we've been making pretty regular tues night cruises with some local guys hotrodders and drag racers. fun times. my 3 year old daughter is my co-pilot, in "daddy's racecar" she loves it when the secondaries open up.

the H2 rims......jsut sent you a Pm. BTW you can see the H2s and Mickey Thompsons on my '98 dodge in a couple those pics

 

[cybrfire]

That was my first car! I sure miss that one.

 

[DEMON44]

Oh and just found out last night too that its got a fairly rare factory tach. not the fact that it has a tach just the factory 5500 redline. in a 7k factory tach.

 

[DEMON44]

.........and I've got a line on a pair of virtually new Garrett turbos. little buggers, that might have a home on a built small block that I'd like to do for it. I decided against putting a bbc in it.

 

[DEMON44]

........................./\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\



well never mind what I said about the big block............its here.




nothing fancy, stocker. It AND the engine bay will get a warm over here right away.....and its NOT staying blue.

 

[79rustyk10]

[sweetk30]

what bbc ?

i have a factory 402 from a z28 car. it needs a home.

 

[DEMON44]

It's currently situation. this'll be a 496 with JE forged pistons. I've got brooks aluminum rods ( not sure I'll use them though) going to go with an Eagle 4.25" forged crank. and probably eagle H beam rods instead of the Brooks.

 

[DEMON44]

And at this time I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce the Twins..... SaraJayne and Leona

Holset HX35's each off of a '98 12v manual truck. 8 blade 57mm inducer on the compressors. 12cm3 turbine housings. Shwing...........
