I bought her in 1980 when I got out of the Navy in SoCal. I put well over 100,000 miles on it. It was my construction work truck for 9 years in SoCal and made the trip from SoCal to Indiana and back 5 times loaded down with tools and 2 desert racing bikes in tow. I put a 12 bolt ($50 then) and a 4 bbl and headers from "Clifford Research" The 235 won't give up. I drove it up to the shop where she's getting a frame off drag and drive build with a 6-71/nitrous 292 and a six speed. Sorry but real patina has to go. I'm a shiny guy.
