I am not really trying to be cheap on purpose ...but I am working with stock stuff and my expectations are about stock.
If it ran as good as it did in 1980, id be happy and making miles.
I daily drove a 68 dart with a slant six and OD833 for years until I got rear ended by a subaru in Colorado springs, Co
Now I have a mercedes which is nice and powerful and comfortable but that's more my dad making me drive that because he thinks it's "safe"
I want something old again, something kinda ratty but with personality
