My three moth quest for a teener finally ended yesterday when I purchased a very nice well sorted out 75 5.7 conversion. The drive home from the bay area to Arcata was to be 250 mi of mostly freeway, and by the time I reached Mendocino co. it was running so good I decided to take a twisty 144 mi rout through the Mendocino coast
This was the most fun i've had in a car ever...until, while running hard though the corners, I heard a clunk, some grinding, and thre was to power to the wheels. Now I'm in the tow truck on my $700 trip home. I like the car so much, and the deal was so sweet, I'm still happy I bought it. I may be singing a different toon once I get into the trany (I expect thats the issue) |
