This is ratty! A 29 Desoto, some say Chrysler, with a very solid four door body. Suicide doors. No chop, no channel.

Toyota pickup truck frame, steering.

Some Jag suspension bits.

Coilover, panhards, drag links, etc.

267 Chevrolet engine. No, no, not a 265. This was made from 79-81 and was a polluting machine. Makes the BP spill look good. Got it from a rebuilder who had several in the warehouse from years ago. Virtually gave it away.

TH350 trans. What can I say? $75 from the scrap yard. 90 day guarantee.

Needs trans mount fabricated, wiring, plumbing for cooling, fuel, exhaust, and such.

Might get - seats bolted in. Firewall holes welded over. Jaguar shifter installed, so I don't have to reach through the floor. Heater. Heater for sure. Wipers, for sure.

***************UPDATE!**********************

OK, I'm willing to admit it now. This isn't for me. I have tried to get back my initial desire to build this thing, and it just ain't there no more.

I put an ad on CL, and sold it in two weeks. Got about 90% of my investment back, and will be able to park the Corvette and the MGB in the garage.

I probably could have held out for full price and cut a small profit, but the person who bought it showed up in person.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, long legs, and big.....you get it.
Yup, a woman. Ain't this sport grand?

Probably try another rat later. Just enjoying buying and selling and repairing cars at the moment.
