Newbie here. Just bought the previously mentioned "red" vert on MSP Craigslist
Good evening all. This is my first post to the PY forum. Looks like a great site with lots of friendly and knowledgeable people.
As the title states I picked up the extremely dirty red 1962 "vert" referenced in the last 2 posts. I got it from a cool guy that owns an auto body shop near me in Wisconsin. He has a ton of cars and is downsizing due to selling the farm where this and some other cars were located as well as not having enough time to complete all of them.
It has a 4cyl, 4bbl and 3-speed. It was parked 7 years ago and sat. He had his mechanic change the fluids and such. After installing a new coil it fired right up. I only drove it onto the flat bed and into my garage. It is idling high but then again I didn't run it more than a minute each time so it didn't have time to warm up.
This weekend I will post some more pics to give you all an idea of the condition. I have read a ton of posts on here the last few days and will do my best to utilize the search function before asking any questions.
I look forward to working on this car and picking your brains. Thank you in advance for your assistance and have a nice Thanksgiving.
Todd
