The plan is to drive it. Everyone just parks them and looks at them. I made sure our lift was a 10k/lb lift. It's original underneath, so we'll rebuild that. I'll bring it to carlisle. This is a car that needs to be seen and driven

Haha I have to trust who is driving. Once I get it, I'm sure I'll take Dad to lunch. I'm just curious what issues I'm going to run into since I'm doubting it has been driven much the past decade. Hopefully fuel tank has non ethanol in it. I'm sure we'll need a solid month of work to really get it right.

Check the center u-joint and carrier bearing in the two piece driveshaft. Strut rod bushings take abuse in these too. Suggest a talk w/ A-1 Shock Absorber company. I was thrilled with the Diamond Back radials on both of mine.
