Re: My "new" '80 (The_Dude)
I picked it up on Saturday and hauled it, and all the stock parts, back to Oregon on a u-haul auto trailer. I drove it work today. This feels so much better than the bubba'ized '76 I sold last month. My planned upgrades are a 5 speed, if I can find a conversion that will allow me to easily go back to stock at a later date, and crate engine that will give me somewhere around 350 hp.
Thanks for the welcome everyone.
