Thanks guys.
I'm living on the Big Island right now.
It's a 64 Lark with the 300 4bl and aluminum head 250 hp, 355 Wildcat motor. Somebody installed a TH350 in it- it has a console shifter and had been through a body-off resto in the not so distant past. I have absolutely no history at all on the car
.
Other than bolting up an Edelbrock 1406, converting to a CS 105 amp alternator & running an electric fan (got tired of that big metal fan vibrating at 4000+ rpm, and the engine loves me for taking that giant swinging hammer off!), I have not done much in the way of modifications to it. I am beginning to suspect that the engine may never have been apart- the gaskets hanging out look at least 40 yrs old to me... but oil pressure and compression are excellent. Still driving with 4 wheel drums for now.
And yes, the top is down most of the time
It is my daily driver, and I commute 50 miles every day in it- I absolutely love the car.
