Default Paint Finished in 1984 Motor in 1985

Well, I dug up a couple shots of the Car Circa 1984/85.
John Built a 454 +0.060 12:1 with Alum Heads that Broke Stud mounts and needed More welding so He Sold them at Portland Ore. Swap meet and installed Steelies.
The Neat Thing is the Factory 4:88 rear Survived and is still in the Car Today, Regeared to 3:73 I think.

He is Working on the Car as I type. It WILL be Back on the Road 2025

Nope the car was sourced riding on a ten bolt with the 12 bolt factory rear thrown in the cabin. The Gears were swapped out in 1983 rebuild of the rear, & rear has been Re-Rebuilt in 2024 keeping a friendly 3.73
LoL

1967 QC code
