[AMC-List] New look at an old car

["Jim Boone" <fljab@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll hopefully soon close on my old house that I've been renting for some 
yrs.  Darned market got soft about the time I listed, but all should be OK 
now.
I'm cleaning things up over there, hauling stuff out, dealing with my 
renter.  I had two cars stashed over there (Cheap rent for my tenant = free 
storage for old cars) in the garage.  One is a '73 Brand F, but the other is 
my '65 440 American.  Oil light came on some yrs back so I quit driving it.  
Spent a good yr finding and rebuilding a spare 195.6 OHV, then moved on to 
other projects including building my new house.
So, the car has sat for ~4-5 yrs now.  Was really dirty, but I gotta admit, 
I'm kinda anxious to get that other engine in, maybe replace the T96 with a 
T14 I have stashed, and go to a later non-big nut 2.73 geared '67 American 
six rear I've been tripping over since ~01 sometime.  Body+interior not 
perfect, but not too bad either.    That combo should get me 20-25 mpg.  
This could be my driver/work car next yr!!
Kinda cool rediscovering something, ya know?
