It would appear that 1961 cars are safe and 1947 cars are not.
Fine by me.
How about a 1961 Biscayne?
With a '70 LT-1 and Muncie M-21? 12-bolt 3.73?
A bit of rust, but already converted to front discs.
Escalade LS3's with 8L90 transmixers are out there for reasonable.
Assuming the reserve for the car isn't as retarded as the buy it now, one could do this reasonable affordably and perhaps under the budget available.
A nice-looking car with good clean lines.
ReplyDeleteYup, the Biscayne was a great car. If it does not have tinworm it would be a great buy.
ReplyDeleteI had a 65 Impala wagon with a 327 corvette engine with 4 bolt main bearings and 12 bolt rear end. Two speed power glide, updated with a nice 4 barrel and CD modified spark maker. Wish I had never sold it. With a more modern 3 or 4 speed vacuum operated trans it would have been the cat's meow.
