Emil,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Your car brings me back to the 64 409 SS that I had in 1980 when I was 20. Three Speed manual on the floor; think it might have been a Saginaw. Tons of torque and big first gear.
Today's dream for me is a stock 427 or 396, and hopefully with black buckets and console. Therefore, a/c is kinda mandatory too, or will be added. Hideaway headlights in a Caprice would make me real complete.
Not to be too picky, but sometimes its worth the wait. I know your car has to be rockin fun though.
