I drove it home 4hrs and it runs great, not a highway machine as i expected, so i took the back roads, including some steep mtn roads. It has 3:91's and pretty good power on the hills, I am considering going with 3:23's though. Not sure yet, that first gear is pretty long!
One thing it needs is Leafspring bushings, i am thinking about removing the lowest (short) leaf and maybe the next one on all 4 springs and will do new bushings. Also has a small trans leak from where tailshaft mounts to case.
Brakes are all new, new tires, everything else in very nice shape as far as i can tell. Only has 32K original miles. No bondo, new window seals, new(er) paint.
Engine plans include: super six upgrade; 2bbl, electronic ignition, split mani's, 2 1/2 exhaust, cam and head work. Just going for more efficiency and a bit more power while leaving it stock looking.
Interior plans include: sound deadening!!! and lots of it, using spray on with some dyna mat squares in some area's, then doing some nice wood on sides and roof with recessed LED lighting. I need a rear seat with shoulder belt, maybe Sprinter, Ford F series, Chev trail blzer (all have integrated should belts) I would like to have something period correct back there, but safety more important.
This thing just makes people smile, out of all odd ball vehicles i have had i never had such reactions from people. Here in VT these things are completely extinct! I would take this anyday over a VW (and i am somewhat of a VW guy at heart) I think the only area a VW would win is in ride quality!
I look forward to hanging around here...
