You all think she's worth $500???? I bring it home on thurs.

Can I make it like "Mikes"?? A little spit and polish she should be good to go right??

Nice. I love the look of early T/As.

And those wheels are so 80's it hurts...

Already filling up that big garage, eh?

Thumbs up

for one more on the sun-faded red team
Ewwwww

for 80's wheels

That place with the garages didn't work out unfortunately.

So.....I take it the two of you wouldn't be interested in buying the stylish wheels that are on the car????? How about the Scheel driver's seat? Wink

By the way, is that some sort of poorly planned exhaust poking out from in front of the rear driver's tire?

I like those wheels! Never seen anything like them before. Almost a "Back to the Future" look about them.

Not sure about the exhaust................guess it's what's left of a former system.

So...the wheels are for sale, and almost....and I said almost everything else on the car except a couple of "minor" exceptions.

Guess I should let you all in on the best part.............have had some fun with it now......................so here is why I bought it (see pics) Very Happy

Also has the ultra rare 82 sill plates in black and in great condition. And after I pull all I want off it, they will come pick it up and give me $129!!

I'm liking this a lot Very Happy

Thinks she's worth $500 now?? Can you say ford 9" for $500??? And a solid panhard bar with rod ends???

And it's even the right color right Mike???

Let me know if you decide to sell the 10 bolt, need one for my wifes car.

Hmm... last car I bought for $500 had one of those small-tube 9-inchers in it too. Must be a thing with that. Shrug

Now you just gotta figure out how to mount the big brakes in place of those drums.

I will be selling the 10 bolt, just need to get this one in my car.

There are a lot of unknowns yet about the 9". The drive shaft, how to get my disk brakes on it, and the ratio and if it has a posi.

So it's not going to happen tomorrow, just letting everyone know it will be for sale at a later date.

Sorry, NOT worth $500... Rolling Eyes

That torque arm scares the sh1T out of me.

Sure it's a 9" and not 8.8? If you can get to all the dropout bolts with a socket it's an 8.8". The 9" has two nuts on the bottom that you HAVE to use a box wrench.

That mount looks like something else.

alloy · Posted: Mon May 10, 2010 8:33 pm Post subject:

Pretty sure it's a 9. Got a 9 for my 55. And even if it is an 8, still stronger than my 10 is. Can't go wrong for 5 bills either way. Hopefully someone (Dewey) Wink

will buy the wheels and I'll be in it for less than $300 with what they are giving me for the carcass.

Yeah, that arm sucks, I'm not going to use it.........scrap metal as far as I'm concerned unless someone here wants it for free. I have my Spohn arm that should bolt on. The TA bracket on it is a Currie setup, so probably a Currie housing I'm guessing.

The one mystery is the little hollow brackets on the back LCA mounts, (2nd pic) Has them on both sides. Can't really figure out what they would be used for.

"So 80's it hurts" is a good thing. If I had the right car to put them on I'd be buying those wheels so fast. I'm thinking slammed S10 with an LSx/4L60E and those wheels... Some sort of orange and red stripey paint job. That would be a cruiser right there. 80's style, modern power. Wink

I always have these ideas that seem really good in my head. Maybe I should just keep them in there... Embarassed

Are them rims 16's or 15's?
