Additional Owner Comments
I've owned this car since 1979. I bought the car minus engine and trans. I'm told the original engine was long gone, the second owner had blown it and the trans years before. At that time, the car had been converted to a 4 speed.
I did a lot of work to the car, doing everything except the body and paint. I drove the car quite regularly for a long time and as years past and things like my family took precedence, the car was driven less and less. About five years ago, I kinda lost interest in the car and parked it. Too much going on in my life, I guess, new business, divorce etc. I had it out a couple times, but it was showing its age and I couldn't get enthused about redoing the car again. I thought a couple times about selling it, but I couldn't do that either.
Well...as things come and go, I started to get excited about the car again. I have a couple projects ahead of it, but I'm looking forward to getting busy on the car when those are out of the way. The car needs paint again (this will be the third time I've had this car painted) and a general "freshening up".
Thanks, John
