My find & 36 yr old reunion!

[Beep!Beep!]

So I sold my 68 Formula s to a couple of guys 36 yrs ago , wasn't wanting to sell but was in need of some cash and had listed a 392 hemi for sale,the guys saw my car hidden behind my grandparents trailer, so no one would bother me its a 340 s auto car. Just spent$1000 on a paint job probably a year before, and had paid 3k for it from I 70/80 raceway in md. Anyway found it again few years ago, tried to get it,trade deal etc. didn't work. This past weekend one of the guys said he was going sell it,so contacted him and look what followed me home. Has a 440 , aluminum heads and 4:30 gears. Going to try and find the 340 . Has hemi hood now But getting back good many original parts.

Great to hear you got it back! Have done the same, that’s about as good as it gets.

Thanks, now gotta figure out what way I want to go, back to 340 or just leave it alone.

Your pics show a healthy 340 in the day but also love big block power. 340 lighter but big motor in it and running and no added expense
