I love them to. You'll never guess, I got Ruby for $2,000, the guy had a few more cars that he wanted to put in his garage, leaving him no more room for Ruby. He was asking $2250 for her, but I talked him down to $1,800, but we agreed on $2,000 since he was transporting it for me. I live in Lyndhurst near Giants Stadium, he lives in Toms River. She hasn't been on the road in 5 or 6 years as he has a few other cars.. He put the motor in, drove her for a while then kept her in the garage, and just started her up and backed her out once a week. She runs good too. The guy saw my '83 because JerzyIroc picked it up yesterday and I got Ruby on Saturday. The funny thing was is that he saw my '83 which I sold for $1,600 to JerzyIroc, and most of you know my '83, Jenny, had a rod knock, the guy looked like he wanted to cry because he realized he just let a $4-5,000 car go for $2,000. As for the plans, the motor and trans I'm not going to touch because they are already done. I also have a nice race steering wheel. I'm going to dress her up w/ gauges and a tach. I'm also going to get some chrome rims, maybe Cragar SS's, put a different Flowmaster on, she is really loud, but I have a Flowmaster Outlaw Series Race Muffler w/ no chambers that I might put on, she is an automatic, so I think I'm going to get Quarter-Stick to replace the stock automatic shifter, and possibly HIDs. Going to keep her the way I got her pretty much except for those few things. -Jeff.
