I've been meaning to start a thread on my car for awhile now but I've been super busy with work and fishing and life in general. I'll get caught up on this over the next few weeks as time permits.
Goal, nice clean driver that runs well. I'm not a numbers matching type of guy
I really don't care about all that. I want a car that if I feel like it I can modify, wrench, tweak and tune as I please although I get annoyed with the wrong nuts and bolts. LOL.
I have always liked the notchbacks and I was finally in a position to get one last summer.
Here's a pic on the day I got it home after hauling it back on a trailer for 3 hours.
It has a 1970 318, 8.25 rear end with 3:21 gears in it. Disc brakes in the front. So some work has been done to this car a long time ago it just needs to be refreshed.
Plan, Car was f5 green with black stripes and a vinyl top when born. Gonna happen. Car is a bucket seat car with console. I'll keep it that way. Even though the bucket seats are from a later car. 318/904 combo when born. Not sure where I'll go there I can pick up a 340 but maybe a 360 would be more bang for my buck. Input welcome.
The journey begins.
