Nice project...

Was that on clist? I thought I saw something similar recently around this area.

I assume your going factory original restoration, since you have the original block?

Gonna start a resto thread?

Dad doesn't want to pull the body on this one. More of a frame on resto to a nice driver. Dad has a 350 he built years ago sitting around he wants to freashen up and use it. The car only came with the block, distributor, pulleys and original carb. So he plans getting that rebuilt in time.

Wow, nice find.

I look forward to seeing what you guys do with it.

Looks like that one sat at the dealership awhile before selling.

Tom this was all dad's idea. I told him he was crazy for doing this again. The parts list shouldn't be that long on this one. At least I hope so

Keith, that's really cool. Your car is the SECOND blue midyear barn find in the past 30 days in the Northeast. What's the deal? You guys hoarding all the cars up there?

Wow.......sitting for all those years, what a shame. I'm sure you'll do it justice with your restoration and hopefully as others have said, keep us updated with photo's , etc.
