Now that I have the exhaust welded, brakes bled better and the front end aligned I plan to drive it every chance I get. Bruce
Mine runs just fine but I am tired of tempting fate with those POS drum brakes, So I don't drive it much till I get the disks on. And it's summer in Central Cali and that means 100-112 degree days with no A/C. Oh why oh why did i take the A/C out......... Oh yeah. Drag racing 10 years ago. Gotta put new A/C in
Just drove the 1976 4-door 443 miles today going to and coming home from the Ohio Mini-Meet. Got to love air conditioning and cruise control.
Drive mine when I can. Taking care of my Dad and sister takes all my time. Hope to get it out later in the summer.
Thanks I have seen those swamp coolers on those little cars. Can't remember what they call them. They are electric. My Grabber was an A/C car from the factory so am looking into putting modern A/C into it. I think I can use my under dash stuff that's already there. For my turbo Pinto however there is no hope The condenser wold need to be where the intercooler now sits. And that one was factory A/C too. But hey. My 07 Ranger has A/C that is freakin cold so I just drive that when it's hot
Maybe four times per month...right now is with a friend, he's doing it some major upgrades...to make more driveable..
It varies. I'm only using the 76 Stallion although I have several more Mav's and 1 Comet. Sometimes I leave it at the company terminal in Grand Prairie TX as a "get home car" when my rig is being serviced. Then it sits on average 3 months at a time (great only having to fill the gas tank once every three months!). Then about every six months I switch it out with my 79 Thunderbird and then it gets driven back and forth to work every day. Luckily for me it's only 2.5 miles to where I park my rig and I can still go 2 months between fill up's.
