It is a Fluid Drive car. He bought an O.D. transmission for it, because it would scream going down the thruway - It has something like 4.11's in the rear end. He didn't want to change the gearing, because the acceleration would suffer with the 6, so he bought the transmission which was claimed to have been rebuilt. There is no reverse for some reason though. He got sick and the car has sat ever since. I bought the car 2 weeks ago, and at this point, only possess the paperwork. With the nasty winter we've been having, the guy's 2nd garage where the car is got plowed in. Getting the car out isn't happening right now.With temps in the negative numbers, The car is there until the spring thaw. I didn't really get too thorough with it when I bought it, but cosmetically the car is beautiful, having been completely redone in the mid to late 80's. The old guy I bought it from had a stroke a few years ago, and he is difficult to understand at times.
