    I'd forgotten how ugly the Superbird really was ...

    Hey nows, I like Corvettes. I like that body style with metal bumpers and a big block up to 72 I believe. As for the Superbird, I believe people who bought them actually Swapped 70 Road Runner or sattelite front grilles on them because they werent very popular in the looks dept in 1970.

    273 advise needed

    Tear it down inspect the parts for wear, take measurements to determine if machine work is needed and to what extent. Take notes then proceed from there. If it can be cleaned up honed reassembled with a master overhaul kit that's good. That's usually not the case though but you don't know till...
