Wow Greeney that car looks really great!
I like too much the rear of the car. The spinners, the exhausts...
Plus, the hood scoop gives me strange thoughts!!!

Congratulations!

Ricky, theres a proper engine under the bonnet as well, a 383!

Yes, I agree, it is nice!

But be careful Bob, Ricky426 and I are beginning to feel neglected! Laughing

That's a nice find Greeney, given the rarity what's the situation for spare parts needed for the rebuild?

It looks stunning Greeney. Let us know what it drives like once you get a chance

Thanks for the comments I may be needing more support than that once I start tinkering with the Chrysler V8 Laughing

I have driven it already but it has not had a CT since 2001
It drives a bit heavy at the moment and the rear wheels are crabbing due to rot in the rear chassis member The engine has a real 38K klm on it and apart from servicables the HT leads are hard and cracked etc
I have joined the UK FV club and am joining the French one too its they only way to get parts and info on these motors
I am really excited about it though as i have always wanted one of these
I cant pick it up until next week when i get my trailer back
The interior is pretty much shot, leather is hard and brittle so I need that sewing machine even more now Rolling Eyes

I will get some photos of it once it settles on my land
I cant wait to see what my neighbours will think I am going to leave it out front for a couple of days, that will get them talking Rolling Eyes

I have a feeling that I know who you are going to ask for support from regarding the motor... Laughing

I have said it before but if anyone wants to come out for a classic vehicle tinkering holiday (sending the women out shopping unless of course they like to help) just say Cool

We could have a forum get together Rolling Eyes

Much as I would love to Greeney, I don't think my wife would like a holiday with me tinkering in cars Sad

Thanks for the very kind offer though Very Happy
