RPMS Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 This might not be appropriate to this forum, but on the other hand, it just might be... Anyway, on the way home from church today I saw a V8 conversion for sale at a tote-the-note lot just northeast of 635 on Garland road. It's a black 280, and I'm guessing it's a 1977 or a 1978. Automatic transmission, with what may have been a Gates shifter. There are a few problems that I see right off the bat. The interior is pretty raw, and the rear driver's side appeared to have some repaired body damage. The hood is missing the vents, and there's a 15" hole in the hood to accomodate the Moroso air cleaner. The engine is NOT in the JTR position, and I could see that at least part of the accelerator linkage was held on with a twist tie. Other than that.... It looked to have good bumpers and the body (or the bondo underneath) looked straight. With a little TLC and some paint (it's in black primer right now) this has the potential to be a good looking car. I have no idea what the telephone number of the place is, nor do I know the name. But if you're looking for a Chevy conversion in the North Dallas area, this may be a good project car for you to look into. Good luck! Scott Ferguson 1974 260Z - sure, it has a V8. On a stand sitting next to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
