Thanks for the replies!
I bought the 71 in January 2018. Basically, I did a full job on it minus the paint and interior. When I bought it, it turned out to need a lot of work. Minus paint, body and interior everything else needed work.
After all that work it was one of my favorites. The 350 motor ran well and was a good match for the car. Once I had it all finished it turned out to be a very reliable car.
I wasn’t happy to hear about the alternator, because it happened 3 hours past Albuquerque (middle of nowhere). It was a PowerMaster, not much to do about that. The tire went flat about 2 hours from destination, turned out a simple plug was needed to fix but caused about a 4-hour delay.
To be honest it had more miles put on it in those 3 days than since I bought it. I have realized that I can only drive one car at a time so I figured I would sell that one. I was sad to see it go, but I’m glad to see it going to a great owner. I’m also glad to see that it was driven across all four time zones! This one will fund my current project (1977 Trans Am SE), so it’s a continuing story!
