Thanks! I bought it from the second owner in Canada, who only owned it for a couple days before his wife made him sell it. The original owner imported it in 1976, it's a 1969, and towed it behind his motorhome for years until it wouldn't pass aircare (vancouver's version of smog) And then it sat for a few years. When I came in, it would only run for a couple minutes at a time, and was uninsurable. I worked for a month or so, got her aircared and running well, and I'm currently waiting on parts to rebuild my dual SUs I have to put on, and then she'll be fully stock. Unfortunately she's just sitting in the driveway currently, an underpowered, heavy car with no overdrive isn't very good on gas, and I'm a student :p That's pretty much all I know. Oh and the tires are from 1993 and have perfect tread

That's pretty awesome! I've always had to ask about cars such as this one, since they usually seem to have some good backstory if they've been around so long. From the picture it looks pretty clean for something towed from the back of a motorhome, great work on getting it running well. Here's hoping you get those parts in.

Yeah it's in shockingly good shape, I'm still expecting to find rust somewhere, and there isn't any.....Thanks! I'm sad to say it will probably be sold soon, though I wish I could keep it, but I've enjoyed my time with it.
