Hi from oregon...

1977, 350, automatic...
my husband bought this for me today, a payback for the 73, that I sold 15 years ago, so we could start our business, It's a bit newer than I wanted, but the price was good, and I won't worry about grocery carts hitting it.... I don't know much about it yet, except what the previous guy says." bought it as a project with the grandkid, and did a much as he could/lost interest. previous to him, it was bored, " we'll see, It isn't home yet, It was very squirrely driving it and we dropped it off to have it aligned, and it needs a rear differential mount... so, I am glad I found this group so I can ask all the dumb questions... I/we usually have someone else do the mechanical work, cause I am not very good, and tend to break things when i try....lol. .Thanks for the add, and look forward to learning from all of you!
edit/ i think I just learned the steering wheel is 2" farther away... thought it felt different than my 73,,, bummed cause that was one of main reasons i liked driving it, was where the steering wheel would telescope out....?
