Congrats Will! Sounds like it was a blast. Look forward to the pics!

Excellent Will. Glad it was a good and safe trip

Great to hear you are back with the new DD!

Looking forward to see some new pics also.

Finally...... Here are some pic's of "The Admiral". I got the first chance to really go over it yesterday and I think I did OK for a sight unseen purchase.
There is zero rust on the car and no sign of there ever being any body repairs. (original paint cars are pretty honest).
It hasen't received much love from the past 3 owners but nothing that can't be reversed easily. I made several minor fixes yesterday.
A visit to my trimer about recovering the rear seat resulted in a "no problem", so I'll pull it out and drop it off.

I already have a new carpet set and a beautiful set of the correct wheel covers to be installed once I have the tires turned RWL in.

I like it.......!

A couple more........ Build sheet and fender tag. Not real exciting but a ordered car.

I have the original owners name and will try to track him down. The car was delivered new in Oak Ridge Tenn.

I'm including a shot of the seller. A Navy sub guy.

Looks like a good solid car that no apologies are needed for.
Great score, a banzai road trip, and no surprises.
I need one of your lucky charms.
Love to here stories like this

Those are 15" caps, right?

Those are 15" caps, right?

Yes ..... HD 15x7 steel wheels according to the build sheet.

I love excellent road trips...especially when a classic car is involved!

Salute to the sub guy!

Beautiful Will..... you got a nice wagon....I envy you once again

 

[300rag]

Yup, a little bit of carpet and that interior will look good.

 

[1978 NYB]

That's a beautiful wagon Will!

Are you going to leave the paint original or repaint it down the road?

 

[cm23uoc]

Will's too anal to leave it that way I guess. Even I would repaint it with that Kind of wear already. You'd run it down completely otherwise if used on a daily Basis.

 

[polara71]

I agree with every word, even Wills being anal part.

 

[1978 NYB]

Knowing Will.....it'll look better than factory fresh in less than year!

 

[polara71]

Sure it Will.... How many members here bought new Cs in 2014?

 

[1978 NYB]

A lot....just about all the regulars.

 

[polara71]

You, Stan, Will, Myself... who else.... Ross has bought and sold a fleet

 

[1978 NYB]

Can't think of anyone else at the moment.

Quite a few guys joined, posted their recent purchases, seem widely enthusiastic, then disappeared...
Car Flavor of the Month guys. Next: probably a Chevelle.
