The idea of a Colt or Arrow with small block has been a long dormant thought, until you had to go and bring it up to the front. Just after your post started, this Gem of a car showed up on Craigslist.
I obtained keys and title last night. Making pickup arrangements this afternoon.
This is going to sprout a small block, keep the hubcaps, and become a sleeper. I am even designing in my head a dual mode exhaust system, comprised of a Y pipe off the manifolds (or headers) to a 3 inch pipe, that will run all the way back, and dump under the bumper. There will also be a 2" system with a restrictive, stock type muffler and resonators, that runs along side, and exits out the back with a little bitty tip (chrome?) so that when I need to be stealthly, I can have the exhaust flow running through the little system, to not attract any attention, and then when it is GO time, flip it to the 3" system for power.
These are the pictures from the previous owner, but they were never in the Craigslist ad for some reason? Sorry about the size, I will crop them down later.
