Love to have you and Fitzy over any time mate!

Edited May 14, 20215 yr by Frosty

 

This is totally off subject but I just discovered yesterday the my car will start in reverse. The original neutral safety switch is set up for the original shift pattern PNDLR, the current 6l80 trans is PRNDM which means that it will start in reverse. Fortunately I installed a keyless entry push button start which requires your foot on the brake to start so the discovery while startling was not disasterous.  Does anyone know of a neutral switch similar in size and shape to the original for the later shift pattern that I can adapt to my steering column?

My missus wants to go to Maine...yes, I'm kinda perplexed, too. I'd go and plonk myself in a seafood shack, put a bib on and start eating lobster and stay there until she came back to pick me up. IF it happens, we'll be sure to go via Michigan, where I'll show Frosty how to chugalug some beers. It'd be a buzz to arrange some sort of collective meeting where we can ALL meet. Who knows?

If that happens, we will have to find a local micro brewery so show me the proper down under method of "Over the lips and through the gums, look out stomach, here it comes" way of drinking beer. Micro breweries and craft beers are very popular these days. Some even serve food!!!! Imagine that!

Dude - now paint the damn thing. This ISN'T Roadkill. 

If I manage to get my junker to sound like that, all the work will have been worth it.

Hard to top this one....

There are plenty of stroker kits out there. Butler's offerings are expensive but are forged & balanced. As I said earlier, Tin Indian were reasonable but apparently their website is 'out of date.' You're looking at a coupla grand US just for the kit and shipping 50kg of metal is gonna be another $500. Still, once installed it should last forever, unlike your bank balance.

Looks like he has 2 more undercovers in the driveway as well.   Exterior= Rough needs grill,  interior= Rough needs seats/carpet,  Engine ????  Right off, no belts on the engine so NOT running.  Underside of the car is anybody's guess.  Do like the manual trans+.

good spotting of those other 2 in the drive way JustA  

yes i liked that it was a manual too !

I agree with JUSTA6, seems a bit high for what it is. However it appears to be a clean body and it is all there. If it truly is all California there should not be any rust. Looking at the underside it appears to be pretty much unmolested. The 305 with a 4 speed was probably an insurance thing. In Cal in those days depending on different factors it was difficult to insure a "performance" automobile with over X amount of horsepower. I saw more than one 6 cyl 4 speed Camaro. Having spent that much time in storage I would wonder what damage the rats did to the interior and wiring. In retrospect maybe I am wrong on the value as things seem to be going up.

Gonna be much higher in NZ as they have to add in the shipping and all paperwork, taxes, duty's, import  ect.
