Just had the rear crossmember bushings, rear strut rods, all the seals in the rear, and all 6 u joints along with the rear calipers, all 8 front arm bushings, and front wheel bearings.... I flew up and drove it today... it tracks straight when you jamb on the brakes at 60 and the engine runs out nicely to 5500, doesn't rattle on washboard roads and everything works including windshield washers...

IT will clean and preserve EXTREMELY WELL...

Very nice. A friend of mine had one just like it when we were in school, except his had side pipes. He removed the original LT1 engine and installed a hot rod 350, then sold the car a few years later. The new owner didn't want the original LT1 engine, so it was sold to a Corvette shop that I think was in Chicago area. I loved the color on that car, and the sound from the side pipes at 6000 RPM was great.

Neighbor across the street has a 2-top twin to this. We have known each other since high school and I remember riding around in it in the 70's. Great car and goes like stink. His has sidepipes also and sounds great. You are going to love it.
