Keep an eye out on Ebay, Craiglist, and most importantly, Facebbook Market place. Since that is where he bought it, most likely he will try selling it on Marketplace once he's done with it.

Still haven't found the buyer. Guy sold it to a retired mechanic near Chicago who was going to go through it and sell it

What a maroon (intentional misspelling to protect the guilty). I agree with everything mentioned above,I've gotten to the point where preservation is more worthy than a trailered, over restored car. Hope they add a FoMoCo Radiator Warning Tag when finished, so it'll be perfect.

My father restored this car in the early 90's.  As Bill mentioned it was originally a L48/M20 car.  Original diff. Pretty sure it was a 3.31 posi.  Motor and trans long gone but was originally a manual car.

Photos before resto 1990.  You can see the sb a/c.    Also no paperwork or POP with the car at the time.  Also paperwork I have show the car sold in Mar of '70 from Gene Merollis in Garden City and made its way to TN in '72 where it stayed through at least the mid 2000's.


Same car that was in the Motor Trend Musclecar Archives video from 1997.

I just do not understand that mentality.  The car is a time capsule that cannot be replaced once it has been "restored".

I have not had a big block but didn't the big block crossmember move the drive train to one side?  With a small block crossmember does that cause any weird problems?

General question, but if you go back to a flat hood for a 69', you need to change the air cleaner as well, correct?
