 At breakfast today Ken was saying how it actually is amazing that in the forlorn state it was in, it's amazing it never became a "donor" car.

I told him it was likely better he rescued it!

kinda surprized the car actually made it to you Carl cause Ken started parting it out on the way. He left the trailer hitch with my car in Saskatoon and if i could have talked him into selling the 396 out it he would have had to tow it the rest of the waywink

 "The American only speedo with oil pressure and temp gauges. Carl helped me wire it up."

I think there may a been a sinister plan in all that help that Carl gave this car biggrin

 No skirt unless I go back to 14" rims/tires with stock wheel covers (and I really do like that look as well)

I'd say it's beyond the ponder stage...

Just made it home with the sinister black SS.  2600 kms in four days with some pretty old iron and a couple even older guys.  (I brought my brother the black 409 guy just for a fun ride?)

I must say the cars look better than we do at this point.  I hope Carl is happy as I sure am!

Have to change my forum name now! Suggestions?

Cold windy day here but I had to wash off the 2 days of road grime the old girl gathered on the trip this way. The car seems much happier with a wash job!

Looks smaller and more compact without the skirts and in that colour.

But she sure looks nice Carl. The SoftRay glass adds to the look as well.
