Got it probably mid 80's from a guy who tried to drag race it. Got rid of a tired 350 for a nice little 327, made a nice cruising car out of it.
When I got around to paint the grill I decided on silver instead of black, had a couple of friends who said "you can't do that they're all black", well I said "mine's going to be silver" "go get some more beer" I said.
When they came back "How do you like it?" I asked, "should be black" they said "But looks not too bad" they said. "Screw you" I thought to myself. "I like it" I said "Go home, leave the beer"
We're still friends.
