Paul:
What is the price, and can you describe the condition (inside; rusty)?
Also, any idea of $ to ship? I live in the Denver Co area (suburb name is actual
Lakewood, Co, 80215).
I have been building a Crown V8 for the last 3 years, and am getting closer
to finished. The rear suspension is all redone, the entire drive train is in
the car, and discs all around. I still need to cut/install the radiator, do
the piping, wiring change, front suspension.
Then 1 1/2 mos ago I found a complete Crown conversion, done in the '70's,
which has been parked for 25 yrs. It is now running, with new brakes, as of
last Saturday, but I had heating problems and charging problems. Turns out
the radiator was completely clogged (Chunks of rust coming off the inside of
the long pipes.) Tomorrow I will put the re-done radiator back in, along with
a high volume water pump and shrouded fan (also a new voltage regulator).
I was going to take out the old pipes, take them to a muffler shop and have
another set made, but the pipes in the car aren't original crown; they are
welded together pipes (to make the bends).
Thanks,
Gary
ps I am keeping the 1st V8; I will finish it over the winter, but now I
have one to drive in the meantime!
