buelliganx1 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 So I really tried to be normal but then I spotted this on Craigslist for cheap and I said fuck it, normal sucks and those "cool" kids aren't realy that cool anyways. I need to straighten a few things out on it but it should be a fun car for me and my son to cruise around in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I dig it. Those can be had for a low price and just tooled around in with no cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I picked this one up for $1000, paint is a 20 footer and I've got to fix the power steering but other than that it's a solid car and the interior is pretty clean.

Otis Nice Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Great deal for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Great pickup. It's hard to find such a fun toy for a thou'. I see it has the requisite pine tree air freshener. I'm sure Clay is kicking himself for not finding it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hell yeah, that thing is awesome! Looks like a 78 or 79? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buelliganx1 Posted June 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 It's a 78 with the 351M motor, kinda a slug right now but I've got a few things planned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way you think, I'm seriously considering a set of side pipes for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using those damn things since high school, a car just doesn't feel like mine if I don't have some vanillarama going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I've been using those damn things since high school, a car just doesn't feel like mine if I don't have some vanillarama going on You're goddamned right. I tried strawberry once. It was the biggest mistake ever. Twenty years and a thousand trees later I tried chemical guys stripper scent. Nope, back to the vanillaroma tree. I never throw them away. I'm a neat freak in the car, but the old trees go under the seat for luck. No clue why anyplace carries a different scent. God help you if you accidentally buy Jasmin. I'm a bit jealous of the Tbird, looks like a great find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Vanillarama is the shit. I tried those stupid air vent clip-on things and they're garbage. Back to the trees. Oh and cool car, I guess. I don't know anything about those 70's sleds, but I like the looks of that one.. especially for a grand. Would look pretty cool having dual exhausts sticking out the rear.

zeitgeist57 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I'm a big fan! Yes, these 70s sleds are dumb fun for cheap. Congratulations, Will! Nothing against the cheap chromies, but some better rolling stock would improve the look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I really like the wheels. Gives it more of a budget muscle car look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I'm with NB on the wheels. I think they fit that car nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Looks like it's lowered in the front? I like the current setup, has a nice aggressive "raked" look to it. Just git sum pipes out the back and you'll be set :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm pretty sure this was coil-spring suspension all around, like my Continental. If so, it does look slightly lowered in the front. That 351M is probably breathing through the same 2BBL Motorsports carb as my Lincoln's 400ci. Yeah, it's not going anywhere quickly. Man...for $1000 that's a heck of a car. Great MAD MAX candidate.

buelliganx1 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 You are correct it does have coil springs all around, in the interest of that true 70's vibe it's got air shocks on the rear, I haven't seen a set of those in years. Someone did change or the ford carburetor for a Holley but I've got a edlebrock waiting to go on it, I just need a manifold and I'd like to swap cams while I'm in there since I'm reading the stock Cam is horribly retarded.
