    Nice but I've never been a fan of the rounded boxes. At least still have 5.0 but lost it's character after '87...

    We've owned '86 box, '92, '93 aeros, supercharged '03 Marauder, plus '98 & '07 whales. Still own the last two. Yes I despise mod motors, but are at least fairly reliable.

    I'm confused -- Do own or recently buy this car? Really don't understand the language in the post!

    Looks as if you're gonna need some reskoolin' ;)

    25 year old's car that works with, near or maybe for him...

    Of course that could change if he is rounding to 25 year increments.

    These old cars are as tough as nails. My sister in law had one of these cars and although she tore it up just like she does every other car she's ever driven, it took her quite a while to do so. I've never known anyone who wasn't a hot rodder that could murder a 302 in but she finally did succeed.

    Better replace the TV cable bushing, that $1 part has fried millions of AOD trans.
