I just got my baby back and you want to tempt me with your toy?
idk... I'd have to borrow your car for a couple of weeks to see if I like it or not altho, if you were serious.... my wife would thank you forever.

How ironic, you towed a uhaul with her, and brought her back on a uhaul!

just picked up a couple carb's for her. 1's a 600cfm holley that I got for free... rebuilding it at the moment. it will be the primary carb when I'm just out cruising. and the other is a holley 750 double pumper.... for the fun times when Im just out bruising.
other than that... I'll tell you that the motor is a solid lifter small block and a 3 speed trans.

rebuilt the carb yesterday... got bored waiting for some of the cleaning solvents to dry....so I added a touch of paint to a few portions
here's some pics.... and this carb had been sitting for a while. and if anyone wants... I have about 400 pictures covering the teardown and rebuild of this carb... screw by screw, step by step.

she's a little rough around the edges, but I'll straighten her out and drive her like she needs to be driven...hard.

Awesome story. My first car was a 78' too. Now, I wish I had mine.

Wow, small world. I remember seeing that car back when I was stationed at Charleston AFB. I think I chatted with you briefly too when I had my white '78 there. This was early 2004. Sound familiar? It's always cool to read about a personal car story. She looks a bit rough now but it definitely has potential. What kind of condition are the floor pans in?

You should pull the rear seat and look for the build sheet.
