bought this from my dad. I'm not a mechanic,(I'm a calibration technician) but I want to fix this car up. I think she was a dragster at one point. My dad gave me pics of her when she was in her prime, and of the restoration problably done @88. He bought her in 90, I think when I was in Saudi. A note with pics says she had or has:auto trans C4, B&M strip shift kit, 3500 B&M super hole shot conv, detroit locker 9" rear end, 4:86 gears, 302(now back to a 289, thanks to my dad blowin the other), elec fuel pump, SS valves, crower roller rockers. Also she was wreaked in a ditch, I think by dads mechanic/softball bud. The front end is in need of work first. My brother in law is more of the mechanic type and is helping alot. Today he used a big grinder to remove weld of front bumper arm. He wanted to put it all together first to see how uneven it was I guess. Luckily my dad had/has some extra parts(he had 2 67's at one point and I think the guy that wreaked her payed for some new thiner metal parts). Having problems removing bolt but he says he'll be back with a tool to do it. This may take awile.
