1969 (to be named by my daughter later) 
Just a few details that I know so far...
1904 cc...aftermarket aluminum case added a DMS 74mm crank and stroker rods, engle 120 cam, 042 heads with a mild port and 3 angle valve job, heavy single springs and 7 degree locks. Spark is provided by a pertronix vacuum advance distributor and fuel is supplied by a empi single 44 hpmx that has been jetted to work with this combo. The transaxle is a Rancho super street 4.13 geared unit. It has a CB performance dropped spindle disc brake kit as well as an adjustable beam. The front tires are 145's and the rears are 195/65-15's. It has a watsons wiring harness and a Bosch al82 alternator with a serpentine drive. Interior done with a J-bugs kit on stock seats and new headliner. The paint is Porsche polar silver with a couple of coats of blue pearl under the Standox clear. The rust free pan was sandblasted and painted with single stage urethane black with a little flattener in it to kill some of the gloss. All of the rust was cut out and replaced with high quality patch panels. |

Very nice.
Cars don't need names though. They don't come when they're called anyhow. |

I tried...but he sucks at reading maps...sorry.
Lol...This was the first time I bought a car off Ebay. I was a little worried to see if it would live up to the ad but it went far above any of my expectations! Murphy's Law didn't get me for once! lol |
