One Optima red top...$109.00

One can of starter fluid...$1.79

5 galllons of gas...$9.00

Turning her over on first try...priceless!

Hasn't run since the fall, but did today. I drove around the circle at my buddy's industrial complex in Hatboro. (not inspected yet)

It has a '67 283 backed with a Turbo 350. I also have a '61 283 and the 2 speed Powerglide. It has a B&M ratchet shifter coming through the floor, but I'm going to fabricate some linkage back to the column.

WOW Jal,
I LOVE the old iron...I wish I still had my parents 1974 Impala Convertible. I loved driving that car, if I only had known how it would be worth something I would have done a full frame-off and kept her. There was NOTHING like driving it to the beach with the ragtop down and the tunes up....pure heaven.

Nice! Hope to see your progression.

My first car was a Chevy II*, my father wrecked it while test driving after a mod.

*I NEVER DROVE IT!

Jeff: Where are you going to put the God's Head badges?? Just kidding. Looks like a great starting point. Brings me back a whole lot of years. Now, I feel old.....

Enjoy!!
