What I do remember was this was a damn fine driving car, it was by far my favorite of the three I had and the motor rebuild was rock solid and should be great going forward.

Ahh I remember this car now.

The original owner I purchased it from daily drove it in Milwaukee, both of the rear quarters had bubbling at the wheel arch as he left that stupid weatherstripping on, which trapped in the elements. He wasn't an enthusiast or anything of the sort, just some oblivious dad that drove it through the crap year round.

I had full intentions of dropping the suspension, coating what could be and replacing the rest but got some pushback at home about doing another ITR restoration.

I wish he would have at least swapped out the valve cover before posting, that's a bad look.

Thank you for chiming in.

Incredible, I had forgotten about this photo. That weekend was a blast. I still remember Bucky Nasty walking through the Greenville Mall holding that print, driving home with it propped up in the driver's seat, and posting it up around the house.

I guess that iPhone crash was worth it.
