A little history - we all have history, right?
This is my second 57, the first one I bought 55 years ago in 1962 at the age of 17. I was in high school and king shi*. I quickly removed the 283 and replaced it with a 327. It would run as I remember but lacked certain amenities. It was a 150, black, 2 - door post, 3 speed car.
Now I have a factory FI car that looks that same - 2 door post, 150, black car. So it is in my garage but not running well - yet. Current gas is bad shi* when left in the tank for a long period. I'm having to de-fuel it and god know what else. Anyhow I had it running (not well) and drove it around the block. What a tank! No power steering or power brakes, minimal head lights and I'm 17 years old again...
So I'm having fun with this car and sparing no expense, it will remain stock to the nut and bolt. Hope to attend some shows this coming summer, just want to be a player.
Cheers
