Hi all,

I'm excited to be a new member of this great forum. I was referred by a current member. I am in Canada and just recently bought a 66 Roadster Canadian car from the 3rd owner that has owned the car for over 30 years. Build date is June 10 66 and is a 390 HP 4 speed car with original black interior with leather seats. Car has been sitting for 14 years and covered in dust in the back of a garage. Original motor is absent as it blew up with a hole out of the block. Original 4 speed is in it and has a stinger hood on it with an early 70's 350. Has side exhaust but was originally a rear exhaust car. I have slot of work to do on the car to get it road worthy again starting with finding a date correct 427 390 HP motor.
