Went to Van this w/e to tie up some loose ends and also to fire up my car. It's in storage until summer, when I'll be able to bring it home. Pics aren't so good - rain, getting dark - but here's a few for now. Apologize about the size - post would only allow layout size.

 

Looks pretty cherry. Nice car

 

Beautiful car, I love it!

 

8d Sweeeeet!

 

Thanks for the comments, gentlemen.

When I started it up, I just wanted to take her for a rip to Abby or find a place where I could open 'er up and drive mainly sideways.

 

She goes as good as she looks?

 

Take her out to Mission Raceway. I know the have street stock on certain days.

I've kept it as stock as possible, b/c it's still got the original 289 4v and 4 sp. I had the engine and tranny rebuilt to original spec two years ago (dyno'd 248 hp) so she goes okay. But with less than 500 miles since, I haven't had the time enjoy it. Argh.

 

248 horse is still a respectable rating. With that 4 speed she should move just fine. Man what a classy car too!

 

I applaud you for trying to keep it stock. It's not a very heavy car is it? It should clip a pretty good pace.

 

It is all american steel, so I assume it would be a solid car, not too too heavy thogh.

 

Not a heavy car, but the rear is feather-light. After the rebuild, on the Barnett hwy two kids in a Prelude pulled up. I punched it and promptly put it sideways in a fishtail. Hands went immediately to 10 and 2 and slowed to 45 mph all the way home .

Keeping it stock is important to me. I brought it up from Houston TX eight years ago. I confirmed that it's an original GT, along with the original 289 and 4 sp, it also has the pony interior, a/c, console, and original stainless steel wheels (I put on for show) and fitted them with some Coker dual redline bias plys = worst handling ever!

Sorry if I'm sounding a little proud of her ... I know there's cars better than this one, but I'm always happy to share it with others. Thanks for the interest, guys!

 

I'll take it the first two weeks of July please.

 

Waaa-hahaha!

No.

 

Funny stuff, that will smarten a guy right up! And dont be sorry of sounding proud man, you have the right to be proud!
