"The Hunt " Is ON !

O-Kay then ;

I assume you went to Po-mona last weekend and Long Beach the weekend before ? that's where you'll find a good one affordably .

Be aware the rear seats are *very* hard to find but in the intrim , just get some old school bus seats & trim 'em up to match , few will ever notice the difference .
 
What are your budget parameters? We had a customer that had us do a 52 and requested that all gaps and body lines be close tolerance which adds quite a bit of shop time. The IFS is modernized American Motors Pacer and the rear is the IRS from a Lincoln Mark VIII. The engine is the generic SBC with fuel injection. Trans is Turbo 350 and along with the 3.08 gears in the rear it should cruise good and still be able to haul 7 adults, or 27 kids with luggage and pets. Roof rack and sun visor are available but not installed. It is unfinished, as pictured, as he has had 8 stints and other health issues. It is for his wife and many grand children so we hope he can complete the project but he might put an as is price(not cheap) on it if this is something that interests you.

Thanks guys,
Was a very sick puppy for awhile but still managed to open my email once a week or so and even peeked at the forum several times. Going to the shop for a little longer each day and that helps more than anything else. The younger folks are asking good questions and contributing in return so it seems all is well. Thank each and everyone again; Evan
 
Evan, glad to see you up and about! You're a cult hero to me! We got some catching up to do! or to put it in words you can understand: "Lucy, ju gotta lotta 'splainin to do!":D
