Hello All.
Not really new to old iron. We currently have a 70 and a 72 GMC pickup, a 45 Ford N tractor. 2 of them are actually in decent shape(grin). I've worked (shade-tree) on mid 60-late 70 GM cars out of necessity. Last car I worked on was a 84 tempo and swore I'd never do that again.
We recently bought a 68 Chevelle/Malibu. What's the difference tween the 2 models?
Mechanicals seem to be in decent shape. The seller claimed the rebuilt 327 has 5000 miles. It does run smooth, but does have a slight hesitation from standing start that I aint worried about. He also claimed the new TH350 tranny can handle up to 800hp. Of course he can't provide paperwork to support it. It had a Hurst slap shift but the wife couldn't figure out how to work it, and had me castrate it. I put in a factory looing console and floor shifter. There just has to be a place that sells "user friendly" shifters.
The body will need paint in a few years. The under body needs help. Trunk and floor should be replaced. The interior is there. It has seats and carpet, and a headliner. Does this site recommended vendors.
Still getting acclimated to this site. Seems like a bunch of decent people w/a common hobby.
Does the search function work in each board? or is it 1 big picture thing?
Im hoping to help, and have fun, where I can,
