Default Yeah!!! bought a 76 again.
Just picked up another 76. I sold my red 76 4 speed last fall. Regretted it. Found another, and made the deal on Wednesday night. Might need some help when I replace the bumpers. Also will be looking into timing adjustments and carb tuning to squeaze out some ponies.

I pick up the car on Monday night. You'll get pix. She's a fixer up'er. BTW, looking for a set of L-82 style valve covers and possibly an aluminum intake. Needs front and rear bumpers, wiper motor, brake booster. Otherwise, very nice car.
