I found this car in July 1998. The car had been sitting for over 4 years. The car ran but found I found a few things that I wanted to change. It looked like someone was trying to build show car. It had a lot of chrome (that gone now), custom interior panels. I also found that engine had stock 1973 low compression heads that had been flycut, to lower the compression there were (.250 in)barrel spacers install. Plus the fact I could not find out what size engine. It has 92mm barrels. I plan on rebuilding the old engine later on. I just installed a new engine and running this week (March 17). Now I started working on the interior. I have removed the old carpet.
