Picked up another beast. :eek:
This was advertised as a T Type w/ a 454 big block and 400 Trans.
Told the guy I wasn't interested in a 454 car so made a deal as a roller.
Who ever transplanted this thing did a pretty neat professional job, AC box was still on the fire wall, dash harness with computer still there, 8.5 rear w/ posi. Had a set of drag skinnies on the front and M/T drag radials on Welds on the rear too.:D
And I think this is the first time I bought a car with out a rust hole of some sort in the floor.

But everything didn't go perfectly smooth, soon as I loaded the car onto the trailer my POS truck ( I hate that truck) started to stall ( while parked yet!) ....and kept stalling until it made it about 5 miles before it died. So I wound up needing to be towed about 45 miles to home on a flatbed with the car trailer on the wheel lift hitch. I could have saved the aggravation and drove to the guys house in my comfy car and just had a flat bed bring the car to my house.

Saw that on craigslist and thought it was a nice color to go with the chrome trim. Didn't know it had a 454 though! Nice score!
 
Thanks I am going to use it as a driver, has a C grade repaint and needs some odds and ends but otherwise swing in a motor and go. We also traded a 350 engine I had for a rebuilt stage 3 2004r trans from some place called Bowtie overdrives still had the shipping plugs in it.
