in fact,it doesnt even have a motor....yet.
lol.
hi folks,im an old fart whos gotten himself into a bit of trouble here with this car.
its a 1980 lebaron salon coupe thats grey? silver?
faded is a good word,with red interior.
it has original wheels and seems like most of the parts were there Except under the hood is Bare,no nothing.
it came originally with a slant 6 auto trans,and im not real sure what rearend this is.
plus this thing has what looks to be brand new bushings/body mounts and the entire k frame is new or completely refurbed,im not sure which,but it looks pristine/newish.
the body seems? good and the interior is mostly Really nice except for the headliner.
i was doing a cleanout job for a lady when i saw this car sitting in the trailer park and figured why not ask?
an amazingly low wad of cash later and its now sitting in line with the rest of the herd.
yes,the bumpers front nosepiece/grill and rear tailights and bumper were all in storage there and in Vcg as well.
looks like someone was getting ready to paint the car the underhood area is done already.
however,im kinda not up to speed at all with this odd torsion bar setup on these cars.
looks like they made more space but the steering linkage runs across the rear instead of the front of the engine bay.
im gonna try and post some pics,
and id appreciate you fellas sharing some thoughts on what i should do with this roller?
as in what would you do with it? am i wasting my time?
my thoughts were originally to stick the 318 magnum in and get a big cam with a good vertor and some 373 gears and go have fun blowing peoples doors off with it.
i dont think anyone would see this thing coming.
i do have an la 360 rebuilt but with truck pan and mounts and a 727
i also have a 318 magnum,same thing,
truck pan and mounts And that would need a magnum carbed intake.
