Posted March 30, 201212 yr comment_385728 I know it isn't customary for a person to re-wed so soon after losing a loved one, but I found and bought yesterday a pristine '71 (10/70). Pics will be put up soon. These next 10 days are very busy for me, that's why the delay.Some details: Completely disassembled down to the last nut and bolt and media blasted. Any rust issues resolved. Undercarriage powder coated. Complete repaint. New engine rebuilt (not matching numbers) w/zero miles (original engine tossed #6 rod through the block after an accidental overrev). Stock suspension. 4-speed. White/turquoise. The underside is almost as clean as the topside. Besides, the wife likes it. What more could a boy desire???
