Thanks. Have to admit it spends more time in the garage instead of on the road... Lubbock drivers are nuts and I only drive it on my days off, weather permiting. I'm still kicking myself for putting the set of police rims that where on it onto the '72 Satellite I had to sell it. But, it still has the stock 15X7 rims so its all good. I've upgraded the front sway bar to a 1 1/8" piece and added a 3/4" rear bar from a AHB Diplomat. Even with the 215/70R15 tires (standard tire size for police units) she really loves the curves. To bad there aren't many in flat West Texas! Oh well, there are plenty of long, straight roads... Glad I also have the 125 speedo installed.... :icon_biggrin: Only paid $750 for it in 2009 from a good friend who needed to sell it and I needed a car. He put in an 8.75" 2.94 rear, removed the lean burn and installed an Edelbrock SP2P manifold and Holley 4360 450cfm carb. He was going for milage and I usually got around 22mpg with it on myt 80 mile commute. I have since installed a Performer manifold with a Eddy 1406 carb. It also has a Y pipe from a '77 Aspen R/T and a full 2.5" single exhaust through a DynoMax Ultraflow muffler. In the next few months I plan on installing some '85-up "302" heads along with a better cam. Also has an HEI (yeah yeah) ignition system. I bought her with 89K, has 123K now. This car is how I relax... if it isn't broke, fix it! :toothy10:
Oh yeah, her name is Maybelline. My late mom named her that. :angel9:
Awesome, Maybelline's a beauty and no slouch from the sounds of it. My 5th is bone stock, 318 smogger and all. Just gotta patch a couple of spots, give her a repaint and she'll be the wife's daily. The Super Six in the Caravelle is eventually gonna get an Offy intake, four barrel and headers (amongst other things). The Dip?.....ahhh...The Dip. Now THAT will eventually become very interesting, but I ain't letting the cat out of the bag on that one...YET. :icon_jook:
