Wifey convinced me to buy a ney toy a few months back. Been so busy, just now having time to post this. Its a 1976, gotta pretty good deal on it. Been wanting something to tinker with, and wife loved the color and style.


We both have had a lot of fun with it. She loves to drive it. I now need to teach her how to do a burnout so I can put it on youtube.


It had been sitting for a while, I have brought it back to good use. Primary for me is getting it to run faster, which I have done a few things that have livened it up. I had a lot of stuff laying around from when I had a racecar. Put a performer intake on it, new distributor, set the timing right, installed a shift kit, etc. When I bought it, it was as slow as a dog. Now it can scoot pretty good, but come wintertime I have to change a few things (cam, heads, etc). Cant get too wild, need to keep it driveable for the wife.

Re: Wife and my new toy

Can you slap classic or antique plates on it due to it's age? That may save on the registration too.

We all saw your new toy now were is your wife:D.
I love that body stile.
I see it has the tell tail front bumper crunch. I think just about every vet with that body has it. Nice car.
