New member with a 71
Hey all, just wanted to say "Hi" and thank everyone for all the GREAT information on this forum. I picked up this 71 a few weeks ago and have been slowly cleaning/fixing things. It's got a good running 350 with an automatic (soon to be changed to a 700R4), and came with a bunch of extra parts (front and rear glass, doors, hood, original passenger fender with a little rust on it, extra tail/backup/side marker lenses, headers, etc). It has a newer tilt column, aftermarket air (not sure what brand yet), and a newer bench seat. I'm slowly working out the electrical bugs, then paint it hopefully this summer. In the meantime, I'm gonna drive the wee out of it!! On to some pics!!
