Would make a great demolition derby car.

Big old Rag top olds At least you were smart before you took it for a spin put a little extra gas in there because those big v8s they gulp it LOL

[@harnesslife]

I purchased 15 litres in it and went for 6 miles or 10km and I think it's nearly gone it might be running rich nut I definitely can't afford to keep it after restoration

[@pdrphil8159]

I bought a 76 the day I finished serving in the U.S. Navy. My buddys made fun of me because it was considered an old mans car... But I loved it . After a couple years I put new tires & rims. Opened up the exhaust system and changed the intake a carb... It was my luxury hot rod...lol. I finally sold it in 1987 . I wish I had kept it . But it was taking up space in my garage & I had not driven it for 6 or 7 yrs. Wish I had kept it like many others I owned.

It looks like this won't sell so I will be restoring it It should be fun to do I have 2 other projects aswell so I hope I can make enough time to get it done in good time it's only the body skins that need work Painting should be fun What color was your car if I see a nice finish I might change this one

@@harnesslife Mine was blue.... I imagine its hard to get parts . Those are rare .

The American auto club in Ireland said they could get quarter panels for me but I might buy an English wheel instead You don't have a picture of it

[@pdrphil8159]

@@harnesslife Wow...Im surprised you can get qtrs. Thats a real win... I'll have to look thru my old photo's & see if I have any pics. I raised the rear & put Cragers all around.. Fattys on the rear & slims on the front... That was the style back then. It had a nice rumble . I put headers on it dropped the exhaust out in from of the rear tires... I changed the intake & carb , but I dont remember what I dropped in it... It was a beautiful ride . Best part was the interior ...it had A.C., power windows , cruise & a kick ass stereo.. One of my friends ended up with a Buick wagon . (Vista Cruiser). In those days wagons were not cool... But we tuned on it & made it a cool ride.. Id love to find one of those ...

Another great upload 😄

[@kieranosullivan02]

something different for sure. if you don't restore it, another older car would be nice to see being restored if worthwhile 👍

Cheers

[@mikeyb784]

if it doesnt shift on donedeal,i think it would be a great project to see come together.

[@harnesslife]

Ya I just found quarter panels for it but don't know the cost yet

[@johnwerner7194]
