Well she’s back on the road. Last time I posted this here I’d only had it for a few hundred miles before the tranny blew up. 10 years, a college education, career start, marriage, etc and I can now drive around again. To be fair this was almost all my dad’s project. Over that time he put a whole new steering, suspension, rear end, top end rebuild, rebuilt 5-speed.. this thing is a blast. The 4” sidepipes with cherry bombs disburse the sound wonderfully, and it’ll bark the tires just about whenever you want.
It’s also a real dude magnet. I’ve only ever had a few people correctly ID it. Most guys will be like “my mom had one when I was a kid” or something and my answer is always “probably not like this one”
