what does your early abody look like?

Here's mine. I finally got around to doing a quick wash job so I could snap a couple photos.

It's originally a 273 Commando car, factory 4 speed, disk brakes, front sway bar. Basically everything you would get on a Formula S, but whoever ordered it wanted a vinyl top, so the car is pretty unusual. I've owned it for going on 21 years now, the longest of any of it's multiple owners. Paint is 27 year old Imron. Doesn't shine much, but it's still there!

I swapped in a stock rebuilt 340 back in 1989, then went through it again in '93 when I worked in a machine shop. I put in forged pistons, MP .474 lift cam, ported the heads, Centerforce DF clutch. Future plans are a big bolt pattern conversion using Viper calipers, Spitfire headers, some sort of overdrive, Edelbrock heads and a Lunati VooDoo cam and hydraulic clutch setup, not necessarily in that order.
