Well, after 14 years of Mopars..I have taken on a new project for Brand X.
One of my bosses has a 1969 Oldsmobile 442, and I've been pushing him for years to get it out of his barn and put the original engine and transmission back in and sell it. Well, he finally asked me to tear the engine down to make sure it was still good as it sat outside for years.
When we (Dad and I) went to pick it up, we looked at the car and couldn't believe how clean it was. When we got the engine home I started running numbers and sure enough, it is a low production numbered car, and original. I managed to get the okay from the wife, so when my boss gets back from vacation I'll be discussing payment and possession with him.
I've long said that if I were to have anything non-Mopar..it'd be one of these as the family history with Oldsmobiles runs much deeper than Mopars.
I dont plan on going away from Mopars, and Dad still has my AHB..so it'll be pretty neat to see how close that built up AHB is to a factory ish 442
