    Picked this one yesterday. She''ll be donating parts to my Skylark. Its almost a shame she sat for about 6 years before I got her about 15 miles from my house. She made it home under her own power.. little ol 300 sounds and runs real good (Small exhaust). drives great also..

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    I'd pop the dent out of the left back door, clean it up and daily drive the crap out of it.

    Oh I'll be driving the Crap out of Donna fore awhile.
     
  5. Good score, I saw that and sent a link to somebody who lives up there who was looking for parts and then it disappeared. I knew it wasn't going to last long. Hell the wheel opening trim and dash pad are worth the asking price

    I did the special into town today.. Sure drove differently than the Skylark. Rubber bushings are so much quieter than the neoprene ones. And then the steering box WoW. I got a 3-turn gearbox from a 77ish a-body my have to swap.

    FWIW. I have tinkered with Donna a bit.. Swapped out the plugs cap rotor... swapped out the pertronix. for a set of points.. Doubled my MPGs

    From 8mpg to 16mpg...

    At this point of time I'll be changing her name to Patty Patina. But at the same time I hate this car.. Pull into a gas station grocery store what ever.. More people are owing & awing this car more than 67 Skylark. seams like I cant leave..
