I also vote for the first picture! I pulled my bubble top home from North Carolina and only got one thumbs up in Ohio. But i was smiling all the way. If that big block is taking up much needed room in your shop id might be interested in it. Let me know.
Cool story and car!
Dont do it! You can get a big harley these days with low miles for less than 10g. Everyone i ever met that bought a sportster wished they bought a big bike.
In the late 90s i bought this c-gas 55, was hemi powered, straight axle, olds rear. He wanted 1500 for the hemi and 200 for the car without the hemi so i just bought the car.no money for the engine.
2nd car. While stationed at ft hood i found this 63. Whith a slight rod knock and a quart of oil every 3rd tank of gas i drove it from TX to Upstate NY and left it at my uncles til i got out. It cost me another $400 in 1983
My first car, 1981 all i could see was tail lights, had alot of stuff stacked on top. $400 and it was mine til i finished high school. Sold it when i left for the Army.
