Mr Gorsky · May 6, 2018

Nice find...318 I guess??

whiteghost · May 6, 2018

nope 340 the good old casting#s made me feel a whole lot better about it. and it was an export car too.

whiteghost · May 6, 2018

got the Nummer to prove it! LOL!

whiteghost · May 6, 2018

Did a little roadkill test drive today it runs like a top no brakes but that is fine on the farm. will be picking up a ton of parts in the next two weeks as the former owner is in poor health an wanted to take a ride in it before he cashes out so i will make that happen then strip it down and paint it this winter.

Awesome start and your good karma will come back to you!

Hellrats · May 6, 2018

Nice find

Best thing is it looks to all be there and not rotted or cut up! Good for you. Enjoy

whiteghost · May 6, 2018

Thanks it is not perfect there was some rust under the top and the lower 1/4s are a bit tough but that is no issue for me living up here i can weld some rusted sheet metal away! LOL! another roadkill shot.

Mr Gorsky · May 6, 2018

An "I" on the tag, not a "C"?? European?

How did that end up in Canada??!! Been stripped of the stripes, weird!

No actually the stripes are there under the paint. i will take a lot of pics before the strip and paint. must have been repainted in the 70's i know for a fact it has been sitting over 25 years as i have been watching it that whole time.

You're a better man than I, Gunga Din. I could not have waited that long.

john dodge · May 7, 2018

Mr Gorsky · May 7, 2018

Why would i not know Gunga Din? was my fathers favorite character. here is a partial shot of the floor and one of my wife working at taking one of her bucket seats out.... it is her car after all!

john dodge · May 7, 2018

I thought generally speaking...gunga din was a Aussie expression....ivw never heard it used overseas...

Really up here they all seem to be green!

evil 340 · May 7, 2018

Round here all Winchester and Hemi orange

whiteghost · May 12, 2018

Ok here is some progress from this week. car is very solid. has one or two rust spots that are very easy to fix and pretty much the best floors i have seen in years for a car that was stored outside under a tarp for 25 years in Canada!
