I bought it from him and daily drove it for about a year and a half, 80 miles a day, on the original 301 4bbl/Metric 200 trans. I kept it for a while longer and then sold it to a friend of the original owner in 2013, who flipped it to the guy in Katy. Katy owner swapped the engine/trans and wheels/tire, then put it up for sale. Glad to see it finally found a new home. Original owner and I thought about that type of engine/trans swap for a long time, but couldn't get past the interior plastics all disintegrating so badly, so never did. BTW, it's the car in my sig below.

I was wondering where the car ended up too. I called about the car back in 2012 when it was for sale at Precision Motors. Think it had a crunched front right fender and needed interior plastic pretty bad. Pretty sure it was the same car.
Nevermind.....my notes show that one as being white....and in Paris TX
