Re: My L78 Christmas!
Tom and Rob,,,
------Look at the names on the poster and you will see Bill Stephenson listed as the owner. I bought it from the brother when I was working at Classic Motors in Hinsdale. Been wondering if and when this car would ever turn up on the site and here it is. All the best cars show up here eventually!!!
------The car had an 800 double-pumper on it when I bought it and couldnt get out of its own way. The original carb was in the trunk in parts and we put the original back on the car and it screamed from that day forward. 800 must have been set up way wrong.
------I was never going to sell it but used to use it to borrow money against to buy and sell other cars. The guy I used to borrow from sold the car out from underneath me and I never saw the car again. I was livid and have never talked to the jerk to this day. Car was from just into Indiana from Chicago.
------What a great arrangement of options,,,Huh??? Interior was newer than new. I seem to remember an over the counter Hurst shifter, and the car had Cragers on it when I bought it but I changed to SS wheels. Also put the Comfort-grip Black wheel on it.
------You have brought up so many good memories. I really loved that beast and never should have risked it in the manner I did or I might still have it. I have a bunch of pics of that car but no scanner. Would love for you guys to see all of them........Bill S
------Chris,,,If the car is in anywhere near the condition it was when I bought it you have one heck of a car. Congratulations!!!!! If I can answer any questions just give me a holler.
