Changed out the old stereo in mine today, and put in a new one. Cleaned it up to get ready for a Sunday AM cruise if the rains hold off.

 

LOL rain. I haven't seen rain in 3 months. I'm longing for summer in a bad way.

 

We've had an unusually mild winter, and lots of sun, but seems like it rains every weekend. A little today, but supposed to let up tomorrow. The cruise is all pre '64 cars at the local breakfast cafe. It's pretty informal, and runs rain or shine every first Sunday, but with only manual wipers on the Austin I don't drive it in any kind of heavy rain.

 

you and me both!

 

I wouldn't go to any run that was formal, lol. Our local cruise in is on Tuesday night at this hamburger joint called Mr Quicks. Everything from a second gen Camaro LT 305 four speed car. To this guy with a 57 Nomad with complete Corvette IRS and even the interior. He said it took 5 attempts at cutting the side glass for the chop top. Cubic dollars for sure.

 

Formal??? Ha! That's funny! If you saw the cars that show up at this cruise you'd never use the term "formal" in relation to anything there! It's far from formal, and very informal. Likewise, the cars are all pretty informal, with very few being show quality, and mostly daily drivers, just daily's that are all old cars. Everything from old trucks, to Model A's, T's, 50's customs, lowriders, drag racers, plus a few rat rods. Pretty loose and wild.
I drove the Camaro once last year, and nobody ran me off, but I noticed a lot of people checking it out, but only after looking around to make sure their buds didn't catch them!

 

I brought it home today,to say i'm happy is an understatement,i am estatic haha.There is absoulutely no rust on this car,the rear tail panel is perfect,frame rails,etc. are all flawless.There are some chips in the paint,the seats need recovered,and it needs the front section of the front spoiler,thats it.I cant believe the guy let this car go that cheap.Motor was rebuilt and only has 31,000 miles on the rebuild,the original saginaw tranny was replaced with a rebuilt muncie from a 60's model impala.Here are a few pics after i got it home,today.

 

Nice score BM!

 

yea thats a nice catch looks like it doesn't need much just some little things here and there...what car did you have before this one?

 

Great score! Car looks good, and everything is there too. What are the plans for it?
