[BaadAssGremlins] Re: 77 AMX leaf springs wanted

["Dan M." <vegadan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Doc, mine has the 2 bbl.  I guess its not too bad, but I did pick up 
an Offenhauser intake manifold, and I do have a Holley 390 4bbl that 
I plan to put on.  I also picked up a Chevy HEI which will be going 
on soon.  The last thing I'm looking for is a header.  That's what I 
would like to do for now.  Eventually, I'd like to switch to the 
later 4.0 head, and maybe add a turbocharger.

The car is not show condition, but it is a very presentable driver.  
I purchased it from the estate of gentlemen who passed away last 
year.  He bought the car used in 1978.  It was orgignally white, and 
has been repainted.  It has some bondo, but not too much.  The 
interior is in excellent condtion with the exception of 2 tears in 
the drivers seat.  It has a/c (complete but needs a recharge), rear 
window defroster, and the original am/fm stereo that still works.  

It is my first decent old car (after several failed projects), and I 
am really looking forward to taking it out to local cruise nights 
and showing people something different.
