My new 1966 Coupe
Posted: Wed 11. Mar 2009, 06:58
I just bought this sucker yesterday. She runs, has 67,000 on her, has been sitting since 1976. It needed a brake line and it was never fixed. Black buckets, power vents, 8 track, really moldy so there is some corrosion on the dash parts but I have 3 of everything. It has a knocking lifter on the passenger side. I might pull the valve cover to take a look. It does have 32 year old oil in it so it needs a major oil change, fluid flush, heads rebuilt with hardened seats, compression check, linkages freed up, and probably needs power steering rebuilt from sitting so long, but not sure yet. She might be my focus for now. It needs to run well, no smoke, quiet except for that knocking. I have everything to get mobile at least from my '67 coupe which will needs extensive body work. It will take years so I scooped this up for $800 and hope to not have to put much into it except head job, body and paint, and a little wiring. Hope she is a good car! This one will remain stock when it done at least look stock, and the 67 will be my hot rod!
