Sounds great, steers straight and responsively, brakes great, starts and revs eagerly . . .great chassis and engine . . .I drove it 100 miles in the rain the other night with no issues (other than the driver's wiper calling it a day - grrr/lol)



Tailshifter - 1st gear is locked out, needs to be resealed. If I were keeping it I'd fit a cable shifter. Hard to get second when cold (and if it is in a bad mood). 4th will occasionally grind if rushed.

283 weeps slightly at oil adapter (new gasket should fix it), pan gasket weeps slightly

Paint is peeling and there are rust bubbles (see  pics)

Driver wiper doesn't work.

Rear passenger triangle/false firewall rusted through, but has not affected the integrity of the longs or even the passenger rear "doughnut" (which can still be used to lift the car even though it is not a factory jackpoint).


Holley Inc. said it should have a 390cfm (2-barrel) but that won't fit easily . . .the currently installed Edelbrock (weber) 4 barrel = slight over carburation. Choke is currently disconnected. 

Odyssey PC1200 battery just died - replaced with quick non-agm battery. 

Missing backpad light.



Sold "as is, where is." Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer



PM if interested in making an offer . . .I have nearly 1500 photographs and a few videos of the recommissioning/re-engineering process.
