My buddy bought it and towed it home about a week ago. I finally got a chance to go check it out today. Unfortunately, we were dodging rain showers, so no test drive.
Anyway, it looks to be real nice car, and suit my buddy very well.
The car does have a couple of minor issues:
- It's currently got a double pumper on it with no choke. That's overkill, and not real street friendly in addition to just making it hard to start. I've got a vacuum secondary carb we'll probably put on there.
- It's also got a drum brake master cylinder, which needs to get swapped. I fear of running out of pedal travel.
- For some reason the oil pan is darn near resting on the center link. Looks like a C-body oil pan. Not sure if this is the root cause, or something with the motor or transmission mounts. We need to take a closer look.
- We're already talking about a winter project of pulling the motor and repainting it the correct hue, as well as fixing some other details. For the life of me I can't figure out why someone didn't invest in a couple of cans of Hemi Orange before dropping the motor in.
I narrowly missed purchasing this car last year. Double77 nabbed it before I could even contact the seller though. Ironic that it ends up in my buddy's garage just up the road after a detour to Florida.
