I got it a few weeks ago right before I left on deployment with the Navy. I've been pining over an old car for about 10 years now and once i saw this one and all that was done to it i couldn't pass it up.

the basics are that its basically a completely rebuilt car...started life as a 2spd 6cyl and now its a 3spd (although i want to change that) 302. the car has been gone through from top to bottom with lots of goodies. I'll write more later, just wanted to post some up.

So...here's my second post...so i can post pics for you guys. I have a few plans for the car, a transmission swap, preferably to a standard shifting vice the automatic that's in it and a few little mods to the inside to help with safety and comfort.

Welcome to the forum, crash. That looks like a really straight car!
What part of the world do you live in?

I live in Southern California...the car is very straight...it is however a V8 "T" car ;) But, there has been A LOT of work done to it that I didn't do, I am the second owner of the car so that's cool as it is a black plate Cali car.

I figured it must be California from the palm trees. Is there some significance to the nose stripe?

I honestly have no idea why they did it. I didn't paint the car, or do any work to it yet other than fixing the turn signals and i have a ticking lifter that i need to figure out when i get home. I kind of like the look but i know the nose stripe was way more of a chevy thing for the Camaros back in the day, and a few Dodges and Plymouths had it to right?
