I am very fortunate, somehow the luck is on my side. I just paid for it yesterday and she should be home by next weekend.
I have a spare 348 from a 60 car. My plan was to machine it and get it back to life and throw it in the Biscayne until...
Long story....I made an ad looking for offers to tow her and the 60 4 door Biscayne parts car. I had one guy send me a message asking about some of the particulars on this 2 door. I relied.
It turns out...he and his son knows the 1st owner of the car! They customized it to drag race it. It had a 396 in it.
That happened on Tuesday.
Yesterday, my husband went to our tire shop to pick up 2 skins for our 60 impala, anyway, it so happens, he was talking about my car I just bought and the owner of the shop happens to also know the original owner of the car! Apparently this car was quite popular here in Edmonton back in the day.
He gave hubby his number to get more info.
Now...I have to, for the sake of the history of this car, try to make it great again, as it used to be. I wouldnt be happy of I tried to conform back to what it was when it came off the line.
Here she is, as she stands at the moment. Her name was and will remain "the Gobbler" lol
