Newb to Fairlanes

Thanks for the welcome!

Forgot to mention, I got it for $960.
EVERY part for the thing is there and then some. The guy had new weather striping, body gaskets, 66 and 67 tails, 66 and 67 grilles and headlight doors, spare harness, lots of new parts, etc. All the trim is in good shape, spare dash, glove box, it goes on and on.

The thing sat since 97. Tires were new. I have a reciept for the removal of FMX trans and installation of a rebuilt C6. They threw a Megashifter and shift kit in. The motor was swapped and freshened up before it got parked. Found a reciept for front suspension totaling $1380!!!!! From caliper to caliper the front end is new including upper and lower control arms. Granada disc swap. I have a spare new driveshaft. It has anti-hop bars but a brand new set of Traction Masters were in a parts box[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img]. He spent $800 on the interior.

So far I have added up over 4K in reciepts! SCORE!

I got a battery for it and she fired right up, sounds very healthy. Full length headers, Mallory Unilite, decent cam(need to get specs), Holly Torquer manifold[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img], 4180 carb(I think).

I'll be sure to drain all the fluids before I let it run any length of time.

I hope to have it road worthy in a few weeks.

Rant off,
Cord
