I have a yellow w/black vinyl top coupe. My wife was the original owner. Purchased in February 1970. I still have all the dealer paperwork. She always said I married her for the car. She went to be with our Lord and Savior last February. We were just shy of 45 years. My son and I put the third motor in it back in 2004. 360 bored to 371 (?) Well massaged. Time to update the suspension, brakes and transmission. Also going to go back to 323 gears. I changed it to 276's 35 years in an attempt to gain some fuel economy. Moderate success there but... We have a full Hotchkiss system on order. Probably be ordering the rest in the next three weeks or so. Any suggestions would be great. Oh yeah. Going to do the wheels and tires also. We're thinking 17"? The Keystone Kustom Klassic's, that she picked out 40 years ago, aren't true anymore and 14" rubber is 13 years old so getting kind of stiff. Thought I'd add a picture to show what I lost. That photo of her was at age 50.
