Appreciate the words of encouragement. I am definitely still interested in one. Mike was able to get it picked up last weekend. I will miss it, but happy it went to a Packard guy.

Currently trying to figure out details with Mike Chirco. Oh

Bought this a few years ago, and it's just too big of a project for me. Does not have a title but I have some old registration slips and various other paperwork.

For Free, Yes Im serious.

Car is located in Redwood City California. 94062

Here is an album from when I purchased it. I vacuumed it out and covered it. No other work has been done.

Edit: Here's a post I made when I first purchased the car.

Yea that was my plan. The sidemounts just arent my style. The wheels are definitely going away.

Thank you for the links, I'll read into them a bit and see what I want to do. For now I'm trying to accumulate parts for the rebuild

howdy, no i'm gonna try and squeeze some power out of this 282 first, if I blow it up then i'll go for the 9 main. However I dont really know where to start, im thinking the dual carburetor manifold, maybe some head work, custom cam, i dunno but i need more power lol

yes it was, Guy i bought it from actually owns his own hot rod shop up where i got it, more than likely its going to go to him for the majority of the metal work

Hey guys my name is E.J. and I recently purchased this car. Its pretty dang rough now but in due time I hope to have it back to its original luster. I'm 28 and this is my first major project car. From what i've gathered its a really rare body style and with the dual sidemounts even more rare.

I have many visions for how I would like to see the car, but I'd like to keep the original motor, and try and squeeze as much out of it as I can. I've been in touch with Flackmaster already so I hope to get some hard to find parts through him.

As far as suspension goes I'd love to see it laying on the ground but I know that wont sit well with the purists nor will removing the sidemounts which I also want to do. At this stage I just dont know the direction i'd like to take. One thing I do know for sure is that its never getting a small block chevy motor. Either this motor i have now, or a 9 main bearing straight 8 out of the later model.

Anyways I'll update as I go along but its gonna be slow haha

On to the pictures...
