My neighbor scores big (shooting fish in a bucket.)
Neighbor calls me to day to come look at what his old man dragged home.
His dad was bummed that he sold his Scamp because he needed the money and all of us car guys that live near and know him well felt kinda bad that the poor guy had to sell his nice scamp with a hot 360.
Well not any more, because we're all jealous now..
Look at this craigslist special his Son found for him.
It needs cleaned up a bit, some things painted but it's a solid car that can be driven and fixed up at the same time.
It's a real 383 formula-S car with a 383 according to the vin#.
It now sports a 440 with a crossram and hydraulic .525 lift cam with two edelbrock carbs, aluminum edelbrock heads, fenderwell headers with threaded pipe to uncork them at the strip.
It shreds the hides very easily and is built pretty stout.
His goal is to drive the hell out of it and get started on the freshening up this winter.
One thing I need to know is the original color.
The vin stated the paint code is HH1, but I don't know what color that is.
It looks like the car had been B-5 blue or something similar and turbine bronze or something similar at one time as there are still some paint remnants of previous colors on the door skins and body panels where paint rubbed off.
