I've actually had this car for awhile and expected to move on it faster than I have so I figured I would start a project thread on it to encourage me to continue making progress on it.

When I picked this one up about 12 years ago I was actually only looking for a roof for a Satellite of mine when 65BelvJim offered this car up.

When I picked it up it had been pretty well stripped as you can see in the first picture. No rear end, no leaf springs, no hood, no motor, no transmission no glass and no interior. To make matters worse, it was a rubber floor mat car and as a result of years of neglect, the floors were shot.

Now that I actually read that typed out, I may understand why Jim was trying to sell it to me for the roof. Lol.

That didn't stop me though. I drug it home anyhow and have been collecting parts for it over the years with the dream of some day putting it back together.

The foundation for the build is an original 71 B Body Dana 60 with 35 spline axles and 4.88 gears, a 4 speed conversion and a 451 with about 12.5:1 compression and a bunch of nitrous. In an effort to get running sooner than later, I may leave the 451 out for a bit and utilize a mild 440 that I've had sitting on a stand for years.

So after 12 years of ownership, getting married and 3 kids later, here it is. Enjoy. -Trent


As it sat when I bought it...
