Thanks for all the warm welcome(s).
I haven't checked the vins and such for the original color.
It is a repaint though.
It belonged to my brother who passed away about 3 years ago. He bought it maybe 10 years ago and drove it for a while. 351 Cleveland and C4.
The old Cleveland is needing rebuilt and he had wanted to swap a newer fuel injected motor into it, upgrade to discs and all that. It sat in their yard for several years.
After he passed away, I was helping my sister-in-law get the house ready to sell and then move. I expressed an interest in it and she and the kids gave it to me. I'd like to do what he wanted to do to it.
I have a guy swapping the motors now and then I'll take care of the hook up and getting it running. I'll have to make or modify a trans cross member too. What about the Lincoln X-member? I'm a machinist and welder so, I can modify the crap out of stuff.
The cleveland is slated for the 32 3-window coupe project I have. But I want to put a later 5 or 6 speed behind it.
Truckfarmer, Let me know when you're down this way.
