It's kind of grown on me over the summer. I have a 6 mile in-town commute, and it's well-suited to daily use. Very loaded Jeep with the luxury carpet option, 5-speed, cruise, tilt. Also has dealer added A/C which is ice cold. Paint and decals original, except one door and the tailgate have been painted. |
----So glad you saved the original seats. They are irreplaceable!....Bill S

I had some wicked vacuum leaks at the manifold, and now have it off for the second time. Should be driving in a few days. |

Curse undercoating, but it preserved the undercarriage incredibly well.....

The white coupe looks great. It reminds me of the white '67 coupe I picked up earlier this year. The coupes are great drivers, you will enjoy it.

I feel the 300hp 327 is the best running engine of the group. Nice idle, great torque, no drama. It pulls a 3.36 gear easily. Just a great road combination!

Ran into some difficulties, as I always do. Carb and distributor were in great shape, rebuilt both because that's how I do things.
I started with a vacuum leak at the manifold, and after re-installing it twice, I still have a vacuum leak. Found I am sucking oil at the bottom of the intake runners all around. Appears someone surfaced the intake manifold, so it's a doorstop now. Just located a (hopefully better) date correct manifold and waiting on that to arrive. It doesn't appear the heads have been machined, but then again who knows... Have gone over it and every number and date code is correct and/or original. All the original fasteners are still there, which is great to have. I had to replace the surge tank because it had the typical 63-64 tube issues and wouldn't hold pressure. But saved the original, of course. More to come in a couple weeks once I strip and magnaflux the new manifold. Note it still has the original light gray/tan 63 tach cable. Radiator is original as well, so that will probably fail once I start driving it. |
