Same colour as mine Earl, looks sweet, how's that night vision?

eeluddy · Uber Guru

Hi Ray. The night vision camera works ok, it's kinda like a heads up display takes some getting used to it. It would be benificial for up north, spotting critters ready to run out of the woods.

Then it would be perfect for some nieghbourhoods here in Toronto

That 64 would be better in a lot of the 'hoods!

the only thing that's holding us back is the ramps isn't it? what's the update?

73SC · A Poncho Legend!

Ramp guy coming for site inspection tomorrow!

I'll check out the car on Wednesday, I'm taking my eldest up to the cottage tomorrow night.

Ray, you've got to find a way for the Rotary Club to acquire that beauty and write it off as parade/special events car. I can already picture us making a grand entrance at the Ribfest next year! biggrin

500 horse, or 500 cubes?

Where is that thing? Why haven't we fired it up and taken it for a ride?

The Treasurer has it in storage somewhere in Mississauga, I've been trying since May to get to see it.

New information and Photos after I shot up to the cottage and back this week.

Car was on Manitoulin Island for 12 years and he just brought it off last year and brought it to Penetang area. No funds to make nice, in fact he rides a bicycle as his transportation and lives with his daughter. Super nice guy but not really a car guy. Car was rented and used as a limo on Manitoulin Island. I'd have to say it isurprised me as I was surprised after walking around and knocking the fenders, it is pretty good. All trim is in the trunk. Car will not start due to gas line gel. He plans to get it running in the next two weeks?? Engine is a 429.

It is advertised locally but as I said it's been sitting in the same place since May.

I'm still trying to figure out why you haven't bought it Ray! Looks really good. Hows it look underneath and in the trunk?

eeluddy · Uber Guru

I agree with Todd! That's a buy if it solid underneath as it looks up top. You know it's going to be cheap now. If I only had more money & room.....

73SC · A Poncho Legend!

It was surprisingly solid. No holes or softness, check out the inside of the door frames in the photos, looked like original paint. I guess Manitoulin Island must be a bit like out West or they didn't drive it in winter. There was some worm rot on the right side sail panel visible in one shot.

There is a lot of self contol going on here boys. Lots of other things to spend $2,000 on, remember last year at this time I bought my Fleetwood on an impulse with a little urging by Hillar and others. Joe at JB Racing also has a 400 sbc for the LeMans if I want it.

When I went to look at this one Mary said "Oh Raymond, are you really going to buy another car?" so it doesn't sound like it would be a problem if I did on that front.

Does'nt your youngest need a car?

eeluddy · Uber Guru

Offer him $1200 IF he get's it running and it can be driven. All he can say is no. Go from there. The doors look good, so it's probably the same on the floors & frame. Must have been barn kept in the winter and maybe up above the salt belt

Something smaller, like maybe an 89 LX 5.0, want to make $400 fast?

I'll bide my time on this one boys, he's not getting it started, like I said he rides a bike, lives with his daughter and works in the second hand shop on the main street.
