Default Re: Oldest Car- Lowest Mileage Who's got what??

CRazy story...no way to confirm or figure out...car was parked in 68...drivetrain gone...new shift parts from Chevrolet to convert 4 speed to 3 on tree...1962 235 6 cyl put in its place but doesn't look to ever have run with this engine..409 emblems look to have been broken off with a screwdriver and the holes filled with plumbers putty and a dab of paint ! The original lacquer is polishing up nice...strange car...wish it could talk. Believe buildsheet ,if there was one and likely there was...probably tossed when they installed plastic..gas tank has 3 inches of varnish....it has sat untouched for 38 years or so...don't want to restore it just clean it up...working with Verne Frantz to document stuff...the firewall has a book written in crayon !

Don't mess with old farts - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.
