Just took delivery of an old friend -- Jeff Stroud's car dropped in from Texas for a few little repairs before it goes up for sale. Seeing it come off the transport pulled up a lot of great memories, and a lot of sadness. But I'm glad for this reunion and glad to help being part of making sure she goes to a good home.
Great to see you, Jeff... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) For those who want to check out the build thread, or are interested in purchasing the car. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(rdauenhauer @ Apr 23 2018, 05:06 PM)  That is the 3.2 conversion that was in his "barn? I remember it ..very clean, Ya I think about Jeff every time I pull the cover off "Blackie" Yup. His wife moved to Texas and brought the car with her, but it's mostly just sitting and ran into a starting issue. I'm charging the battery, but I suspect the DME relay as usual. Gonna give it the once over and take care of any little things it needs. Then a bunch of pictures for the sale. |

Very nice car, and it has got to be a blast with that 3.2 motor! Perfect combo with the narrow body.
