I am normally just an observer here, taking in all the fine info, and looking at what people have for sale that I might use for one of my piles that I hope won't always be piles. However, in my 6 1/2 years as a member here, I finally managed my 50th post this afternoon! That's gotta be some kind of crappy record right? Thanks for all the good times :D

I still have the car, though it is in a few pieces waiting a serious underside upgrade. It needs floor pans after spending most of it's life on utah salty roads, and saving up to finally re-do the interior and a dana 60. And I'm hoping to put an alter k in it one day. Let's just say its gonna be awhile before that one see's the road again.

Victoria has been a great driver and all the wheel, rearend bearings are all new and the 170 low deck is doing perfect and breathing healthy
So when you get started on it jump in here and share :thumleft:

Have a great day and a Merry Christmas

It's had the subframe connector treatment and the leaf springs moved inboard, but once I started tearing into one thing, like everyone else, it snowballed into way too much, so I've got lots left to do. I may have a couple pics, might be time to start a thread on my project.
 
I'm a big fan of these early A's, with the 66 Valiant being my favorite, so it's definitely exciting getting things done so I may get to drive it again. I really like your car and I hope my is one day as nice as yours. Mine started life as a 170 slant car and now I'm re-motivated to get some things going. It's got a 383/727 sitting in it right now, with plans to build a low deck stroker for it down the road. Thanks for the encouragement and Merry Christmas as well!

That sure would be cool, I am going to be keeping the lite rear end and
put 66 V8 Barracuda leaf springs under her one day, Less is more for my 170/6 :glasses7:
the best way to slow it down would be put a big rear end in it to rob what little HP I have :smile: she still hits the scales at 2.721 lbs Yes it has been on 3 scales
Looking forward to your first restoration thread :cheers:
