Nice find Jaime! Somewhere around here I have an electronically tuned 8-track out of a Lincoln Versailles.
I don't know. It's the type of car that deserves an all original restoration if you ask me, and I'm just not into that... It would definately be a good candidate for restoration. I believe I am just going to get the parts I want off of it, and trade it to my brother. He would drive it daily and take care of it, and the way I see it, it's better off right now being driven, then just sitting there like it would be if I keep it. xpsnake, you are more then welcome to the radio. I have no idea if it works, but I'll grab it next time I'm up there and test it. I do want to keep the dash bezel.
But it's a nice complete original (somewhat) 72 V-8 Grabber, their getting harder and harder to find, I would love to find a 72 like that!
I'm sure I'll have more then anyone before it's over. I've barely been around for 2 years and I'm already up to 8. I was going to start getting rid of some, because I figgured my grandpa didn't want me dragging crap loads of them up there now that I already have this many. On the way back from getting this one, I asked him about it and he told me to get as many of them as I want, and not to get rid of the ones I already have. He said right now with these cars, it's the same as when he bought all his Mustangs for next to nothing. Who knows where they will go in the future.
Jamie. Sounds great, I've got a bunch of bezels. Anything you need in trade? Got a lot of stuff myself.
Very true my friend, very true. Besides, if you want to be driving these from now on, you need a few spares.
Thanks. Right now the car has not moved an inch since the day I made this thread. My brother and I are going to NC sometime soon to start doing a disc brake conversion and install Duraspark II ignition. It's just really hard to get up there to mess with right now because it's 100 miles one way and I can only get up there on the weekends. When we get it safe and running right, we'll drive it home and my brother will start driving it daily. I will start driving the red '72 again, so I can park the '69.5 and really get serious with makeing some progress.
