The Road Trip to get it!
A much
shorter trip then the one for the '69 and much more welcome! There
are no pics of the trip, it was a quick nine hours to Gulp Port, and nine hours
back. No stopping thanks to Mitch for helping me drive
while watching movies..... or watching movies while driving, I can't
remember.
Scott, the previous owner
looked about as sad as I felt for him when I drove away. My hats off
to him though! After being misled and disappointed over the
condition of the '69 I bought sight unseen, Scott's '76 was a total
pleasant surprise!! This really is a great car for restoration!
The body is in great shape, the motor is strong (barks third), the frame
appears to be near perfect, and all of Scott's hard work is less work that
I will have to do.
The paint has been totally
removed and the doors and interior were broken down. All the main
parts are there and were wrapped and packaged great. Not to
mention that this is a AC car with power windows, brakes, and steering.
Thanks Scott!
Here's some pics of the car
getting to its new Texas home.
Here are some of
the pics I borrowed from the website where the car was advertised.
The interior is gutted, but the body appears to be in good shape and the
car is driven daily! It will be a body off resto, but MUCH less work
then the '69 and I'm fine with that!
