J's dream car is back on e-bay! Much lower price!

temptiing..
just grab some tags and catch a greyhound

 

I do love that car. It has some hard to find pieces on it.
Hard top trim, chrome sideburns without the opera lights, royale interior, and 1 year only grilles and tail lights.

 

ill buy it!

 

I will be in Copiague on Nov. 13th, which saddens me even more, because I have no room for the old gal at the moment. I wish I would have started with a clean car like this instead of the Chicago rot box in my project thread.
If you have time for a beer let me know. My bandmates and I will be playing a bar out there, and then it's off to Altoona and Bethlehem, PA.

 

well I found a car that i have never seen b4 an would love to see this come down the strip with you j {:

J needs to get that car he could fix it up. That would make a perfect car for his band to use for gigs.

 

LOL!!!
How much? I see it's at a wrecking yard. If $200 will take that thing, I may have to call in some favors.
I could add it as a band expense.

The local spot gives us $150 for promotional expenses like flyers, posters magazine/newspaper ads etc. etc.
If I were to do all that myself on extra paper around the house and call in a favor or 2 with local promoters I could stash that gem in the woods behind the practice spot.

 

I can't even begin to imagine that tuna barge's amazing passing power with a mighty 140HP 307 under the hood. The Buick Limo in this pic has an LT1 and goes 18's. That Olds would probably be a 27sec 1/4 mile

On the plus side, I could race Richard Kneulbel's limo with my very own limo next year, instead of using the gray car. http://www.youtube.com/user/jbh11600#p/u/4/Uo1CAa9iGks

 

hahahah it needs a lot of work ! floors are gone paint is bad, the boomerang wing has chips

 

No floors makes it faster, and equipped with full bathroom priveliges.

 

260 V8? Measly power for a car that size/weight.

 

It was worse in the 76-77 heavy cars.



That 80 delta probably only weighs in around 3600 if it has the aluminum bumper inserts.

 

J - You are going to be out here in Copaigue? Where and when? It's about 20 miles from me.

 

Car looks like a good deal. Since I just bought another car, I think my better half would hang me if I brought this home as well. oh well I hope it ends up with someone who will keep it going because like the owner said, they are becoming rare.

 

I'll be at a place called The Zebra Club.

1195 Montauk Highway, Copiague (Long Island), New York 11726

11/13/2009
Show starts at 8:00 PM so Hopefully, We'll be there early around 6pm.

 

If NY was the last date of the tour instead of the first, I might have done something crazy and bought it.
As it sits right now, I'd have to drive the thing cross country without any problems for a full week and pay triple gas $.
Splitting gas $ in a 6 cyl Jeep between 4 people will be a lot easier than going it alone all week in that Delta.
Although it would be a lot roomier for me haha.

 

Will trade 455 heads for 80's deltas.
