Sept 1979
In the spring of 1980 while racing a 69 cutlass. The u-joints broke and the driveshaft fell out. Towed it to Mississauga autowrecker to get them to install a used driveshaft. While towing the car there the gas tank fell out. I sold the car to the wrecker.
.
Replaced the engine 4 times and 2 transmissions. Too much racing or just bad luck... Came with a blue block 350, blew that motor in a couple months. Replaced it with a blue block 400. Blew that motor and replaced it with a small block 400, blew that motor and replaced with a 428 out of a 68 grand prix yes blew that one also.. The last motor installed was a 455SD out of a 74 trans am. Too much power twisted the cars unibody frame.
Restored floors and interior. Sequential trun signals replaced. Repaired vacum system for hideaway headlights. Repaired back frames and rotted door posts. Purchased 68 cougar for parts needing replacement..
