    Thought I'd show what's been giving me so many headaches. Moms dubbed it the red goose because it squawks all day.

    What engine do you have? It looks like a nice car! You're going to have a problem in the mpg department, though! :rofl2:

    I had one briefly, it was a 76 with a 455. Gave a guy $400 for it and it ran great!

    Its got a 350 in it. Lifters aren't oiling. Went to readjust the rockers and heard metal on metal rubbing. Now I'm just going to do body work on it till I have the money for new cam & lifters.
