I finally got the car out for a real drive for the first time of the season in 4 years. It was pretty sweet finally having a bunch of bs stuff that didn't work actually work. It was nice having a gas gauge, and a trip meter, and a rad that wasn't half plugged and to have electric fans that actually turned on, on their own. The car used to run around 205 before and now is about 168-170 on a cool day like today.
It was good for for a nice cruise in it but I found a bunch of stuff that I will have to deal with next spring. I need to finally complete all the repairs on the spring cleaning. I plan on replacing the original timing chain and gears, and valve springs and original injectors next spring and then hopefully then I can actually start to play with it. I'm just glad I could drive it around. I guess now for the next bunch of stuff to save up for. I can't decide what eats money faster, my house or my cars.

:cheers: congrats on getting it out. Do mods when money permits and keep the wheels on the ground :rock: :rofl:

Nice!
I've only had my Buick out a handful of times this season. :(

Your wife, maybe?
It's a great feeling to actually drive one now and then! Makes me want to get the Challenger off the rack and drive up to the gate and back!

no wife, but at least when you can drive it around, it's easier to explain to the gf why, you are spending a small fortune on it.
