So a couple months ago I drove 12 hours round trip to pick up my new toy. I've wanted a "clunker" for awhile, and I just couldn't pass up the deal that I got this classic road barge for. This clown didnt realize he was missing a stud on the passenger side manifold and assumed the engine was bad, as well as thought the wipers didnt work (they were unplugged
) so I slapped a replacement on from a torino with new gaskets asap, now she glides through the powerband effortlessly like silk. (and thats pulling 4500+lbs)
here she is on the way home stopping to feed the pig.
right after I got her home my dad was almost ready to fight me trying to buy her off me.
