Rebirth.... my 59 is running again
Hey Guy's
I Just wanted to post a thank you for all the advice and encouragement expertise and knowledge you all have given me over the last 6 months...
I started trying to get her running again after 15 years in storage on blocks in a cold garage in cold New England back in may.
So many of you have offered advice insight and knowledge along the way. I am sure without you guy's i would not be running today.
Thanks again. I have a long way to go to get her right again but at least she is Awake again ..

Nice car, thanks for the videos.
I could not see the tach well enough to tell if that was a hydraulic or solid lifter engine.
Overall, looks like it is in pretty good shape, at least from what can be seen.

Thank you 60
She is a solid lifter 290Hp CS Block with 6500rpm tach
I would not call her a perfect matching numbers car but pretty close, (correct close ratio Steel case T10 post dates production of the car. She had a muncie m21 when I got her in 1980)
Thanks Again

Good Job! I am jealous! I really wanted a silver car with red interior bad. I am not disappointed in my Frost blue 59 but that color combo you have was the best one that came on the C1s.
