Let's hear your "black widow" part story.
Saw an ad on CL for an 8 3/4 . Watched it for a few months then thought I might be able to pick it up cheap. Drove to the small Idaho town in the mountains only to find out it was still attached to a car buried in snow…. Urgh… didn’t want to hassle with it in 3’ of snow !
Looked at the VIN and realized it was a 69 Swinger 340 4sp ! With no front clip and suspension dangling perched atop cinder blocks . I knew if I pulled the rear end the car would get scrapped .
So I bought the whole car for 1200$
Now after rotisserie blasting and going over every nut and bolt its home to a 408 W2 with 3.91s .
That was the most expensive A-Body 8 3/4 I know of !
