Darrellinceres is on a distinguished road
This is the day we brought her home

Sundust Beige, Parchment Leather, Palomino. The only options it doesn’t have is cruse control and stereo.

She belonged to a lady in the Bay area. When she passed away the estate decided to have the engine rebuilt. She only put 83,000 mi on it. It still had the original FoMoCo front wheel seals and shocks. A friend of mine had bought it and on his way home it started knocking. He drove it home that way puking oil out the rear. Spun the mains and cracked the block from the mains to the cams. He was so mad he was going to scrap the car so I gave him scrap value for it. I found a donor engine in Washington and only used the core (Block, Crank, & Rods) the rest is either original or new.









A few engine shots as I was rebuilding it
