Default so here is my ride i just got for an old shotgun

alright so i have been lookin for a cheap project or something and came across this car , not really for the body has it has seen better days but could be fixed up everything works and what not.

so for the goods the car is an 82' gt it has a just freshened new pistons,rings,bearings, he said not mild and not real wild cam so ? it is a 1969 351 windsor with gt 40's with some p & polish work, roller rockers, performer intake,new performance clutch and flywheel, new ceramic coated long tube bbk headers, with an old school srod 4 speed behind it.

he also gave me a good fender and bumper to fix it , and also a rebuilt 8.8 rearend with 3.27 gears.

i think i did pretty good for a 20 year old remington shotgun. that is my youngest in there driving ..

hey there dudeboy (jason) i dont know what im doing yet im not really feeling the all red car i hate red plus it would need some work to make it worthy probably get it fired up and then pull it out and save for something or put my twisted wedges on it ?

and whats with the mexico writing ?

just dont remember my other gt40's with the mexico writing in them

good deal i think for an old remington shotgun i think the headers are nice and new along with the motor and it being a 69 block

im trying to get the old owner to dig up the specs as he said new pistons and cam and cam he said was not mild and not real wild so just want to know kinda whats in it u know.

but i will probably take the car to the scrap yard unless someone wants as is without the motor and trans.

i ahve another link on a 4cyl coupe but not sure yet he wants to trade me my msd box for the whole 88 coupe roller no interior,strait body thpugh im not sure what im gonna do yet?

i had to go to edgewood to pick this car up but oh well good deal in my eyes

yeah ll this for aa old remington shotgun

yeah stock hood and the whole car is pretty much mint except fender and bumper and he gave me good ones of those to replace and an 8.8 also

and if the car goes to the scrapper the hitch adds weight man.lol. as scrap here is $216 a ton right now as my neighbor just went so that would be my money back and then pretty much free new motor and used 4 speed and free 8.8
