Factory A/C rebuild in a '66

[Ripinator]

Somebody will get a great car, just bad timing, too many irons in the fire.

Due to the internet police, I can't see the ad for the car here at work. Would somebody throw the ad and pictures etc. up as a For Sale item?

Well I made the trip to see the hardtop. Mechanically outstanding, he has owned the car for 20 years and was a Chrysler mechanic. Super solid rust and ding free body. Paint thin in a few spots. He has rebuilt a strong 440 with a performance cam and TNT set up, not original engine, but came with a 440.

Great guy and a definite Mopar guy. This would be a great driver but not really for me. I couldn't leave it alone, and enjoy it as it is.

I took a few pictures to focus more on its current condition.

Mike:

I am very disappointed. . . Maybe you should look at the acquisition of this car as just a purchase of tail lights and turn signal lenses. Remove those items, sell the car and you would probably come out ahead. . .

I couldn't dismantle the car, it is a great survivor. He has put a lot effort into making it a sleeper dragster, not really my thing. I am really interested in a nice cruiser with A/C, on the other side of the coin if this was a wagon in this condition I would have bought it. I still have the wagon bug.

My other problem is, I personally won't leave a car outside, I would have to rent garage space. I am however, currently putting together plans for another garage, which blows an additional c-body purchase, for now.

BTY he pulled the original ad so I don't know where it is listed now.

Mike: Sounds like you are moving toward a Garage Mahal. Believe me - A project like that will kick your car hobby budget in the slats. Here is some info on my garage tail: The Garage-Mahal

All makes perfect sense to me. I was able to squeak in my 67 Monaco while gearing up to build my house. That was a miracle in and of itself however, had it been any other car at any other price, I don't know if it would have worked or if I'd have even tried.

Right on tho, glad you checked it out! And as I'm prone to saying about your car, how can you be in a rush to find another when you got Goldie?
