I own it on July 2nd. Thanks to K-Roll, GenuineAlexReid and many other wonderful Opponauts for helping me make this happen. It should land in Detroit on the 13th and I will actually see it for the first time on the 24th of July. HELL YES. Eight-year-old me would be proud. I’m buying a Stingray.

The D! Come meet K-Roll and myself! I’ll be there the weekend of July 22nd to pick it up. Bring the Mercury.

HOLY SHIT THAT COMPRESSION RATIO DOE.

Hope you have 93 octane like we have in Sunny Fl!

I’m extremely jealous! I seriously want an early chrome bumpered C3. A ‘71 would be perfect for me since it would go with my Camaro.

Yup. It’s pretty cool for a small block.

Why be jealous when you can buy one? I only paid $6,000 for this one. The market is great for these.

So I’m over the boarder in Ohio camping until the 24th. I wish the old Mercury was running right now, you’d have to accept the modern Mercury. I mean, technically you didn’t specify WHICH Mercury.

Where about in the Detroit area is it being delivered and where are you bringing it to?

No space for it, and a $0 budget. But mostly the space. My Camaro already has to live at my parents’ house.

K-Rizzle is in Southfield if that helps. Haha go ahead and bring the SUV. What’s wrong with the Montego?

Space is the killer.

Probably won’t like unleaded gas!

Super exciting! What exactly is a “period SCCA build?” Does that mean it’s going to be a race car??

06/23/2016 at 13:51

Congrats man! What trans/rear?

Urambo Tauro > cletus44 aka Clayton Seams

Nice choice! C3s are my favorite body style. One day, I would love to have a fully resto-modded one.

Nice!

1970 with a 4 speed. Rear gears I have no idea other than its a positrac unit. I think it has 3.90's in it.

cletus44 aka Clayton Seams > crowmolly

Hardened valve seats and lots of octane booster.

A wannabe race car haha. It’ll have number circles, Torq Thrusts, unbaffled side pipes, and eventually a built big block but it’ll have a full interior. Like a weekend SCCA runner they used to build for auto-x and gymkhana events back in the 70's.

Congrats, can’t wait to see more of it! I’ll just leave this here...

Congrats. I can confirm that my eight year old self is satisfied every time I get into my C4/LT1 daily driver.

It'll be at my house in Southfield for a week when it arrives. Come by to check it out whenever. I'll give you my contact info if you'd like.

Well that would be driving the Jeep!

I’ve had a cooling issue forever and now I think it’s freeze plugs as I believe coolant came out from the back of the motor.

Means motor needs to be pulled.

Awesome man, I believe we’re friends on facebook now so you can hit me up over there with some details, I get back the 24th maybe I can make a special trip after work to southfield. I work in Farmington so that’s a lot easier than driving there from canton.

Love those cars. Many moons ago I had a '69 300hp 4spd roadster in LeMans Blue. Wish I had it now. *pout*
