Sometimes it happens -
back in 1989 i was supposed to buy a 79 Silver TA/TA 4spd with a fresh 74 SD455 engine and big nitrous tank in the trunk.

(another car popped up outta nowhere that took major priority of the 79)

The white SD455 I had that was very rusty I sold to a friend. Actually he was the guy along with his partner that traded me the car. He called me last year while I was at Norwalk and made me an offer I couldnt refuse. I had the heads,block std bore,intake. I had the parts to put it together less body work. He came last night after this covid virus separation. He collects them.

Previously I always wanted to weigh a SD455 block. Last Friday I got access to a gov certified scale,the bare std bore block with all the caps and bolts,but no freeze or screw in plugs weighed 195#. When I found that SR SD455 block in 1975 and tried to lift it myself i new it was heavy. Just info. John and Rocky I have all the nos numbers for you guys.

Default '73 with cleaned up tires and rims

Finally got a chance to get to the storage unit and clean up the rims and tires. Makes a big difference in the appearance.

Default VERY RUSTY 1974 SD455 TA on FB

Seller posted a video on Youtube.
10k original miles.
Parked since 1980.
Very nice interior except headliner.
Red/black/rust
Undercoated, so the floors and frame rails are good.
OMG it's rusty.
$35k

Surprisingly the underneath is quite nice. Will need everything on the exterior and a trunk pan. Must have been near salt water seeing the trunk lid is almost entirely missing due to rot.

Parked w/ 10,000 miles? Sounds like possible engine problems.

Sad, but a very cool find. I like that it's a non-AC car.
Not a good time for me to take on another project, or I'd be giving it a closer sniff!

Per the phone number on the window, this comes up:
Joseph C Kelley, 59 years old, currently living in Holliston, MA

Would guess that's the original owner

No engine shots.
