My son likes it, and he'd buy it - $500.
No PS, no AC, no PB
It appears to be all there, and pretty used:
Interior - shot
Exterior - not real dented up, but needs a good going over
Trunk floor pans need replacing
Drivetrain - 283/PG/10-bolt
The engine has a road draft tube, so I think it may be original, but there's no balancer. The man said his son said (who supposedly knows about these things) that the 66 283 was internally balanced. I said I'd never heard of one - don't have to tell you what I was thinking. Don't really care about the engine, but if anyone's heard of an internally balanced 66 283 please enlighten me.
Has an alternator - didn't these have generators?
Doesn't have rams horn exhaust manifolds - has the under the plugs log style. We'd put headers on it.
Front sway bar looked to be about 5/8" - tiny.
We're not thinking about restoring it, but making it a dependable driver. I have a bunch of small block stuff and a spare TH350 or two which could be donated to this worthy cause.
I know its one of those "you'll get your money out of it" deals, but it's not my money and we're not looking for perfection.
I'm thinking for about 3K and a lot of work it may make a decent driver.
