but when you get them running right, they are so cool. Such an advanced design for 1980/1981...

I agree.  Never use to think that until seeing a few run down the track.  Pretty impressive really for '80's technology.

Anybody make a manifold for that fuel injection setup for a 400? Bet THAT would be an interesting beast.

Slight Update.

Got the Door Hinges rebuilt and replaced.


Found a new stereo to replace the old Pioneer that stays on and runs the battery down.


And because i like the look, reset the headlight trim rings to black.
