Nice ride! I don't know if I could of modded a split though. Restored to original value has to be big. That engine is impressive, I like it almost as much as a 427 with 3 X 2's.

I have been looking at the C2's. A road trip in one would be awesome. Here is one that would work. Who wants to give me $45k that they don't want back?

oh, that is sweet.
I am curious... they spend all that coin and don't use one of those trick tube frames? Why not? |

That looks real nice, Tyler. If it's all what the ad said, it would be a good one to keep close to stock. The one thing is that it's a soild lifter motor so, that's extra maintainence (and needs extra inspection). C2 are a good buy right now but when you're spending that kinda coin, you really need to know what you're getting even to the point of paying a C2 guy to inspect the car before you buy it. |

Isn't that your garage Bill? It looks like it all nice and neat. I'm thinking that is your new C2 frame and engine.

Har, I wish. There's a lota bucks sitting there. And if it was mine, I'd have to get another C2 because i wouldn't rip up a matching numbers car. Note: Matching numbers is more that most guys think, not just the serial number on the block & trans. |

Agreed... don't do this to a matching numbers car unless there is a real GOOD reason - like everything is rusted or busted. Otherwise, restore.
Matching numbers means: VIN --> Engine --> Trans --> Diff --> Frame --> Drivers Door. |

Yea, well, you are now getting into NCRS religion. Realistically, most apply the measure I have stated above. The parts you are referring to are consumables. Even t-stat housings, they have a tendency to break at the bolt holes! |

I consider them rebuildables. Yea, NCRS but "matching numbers" is thrown around too much. Some one calling a car matching with fender flairs, different interior, etc is not correct,IMO. If my car didn't have the correct accessories, I maybe would go away from stock. I'm not doing total NCRS anyway mostly because of the paint (frame & body). T-stat housing's break because of the high percentage of wrench twisters out there that always think tighter is better. This one is 43 years old. Attach file: 2006-04-29 23-37-01_0008.JPG (0.00 KB) |
