The devil made me do it!

Bought this one today. 440 Super Commando 727 8 3/4 3.55 Sure Grip. Been in the back yard for 6 years covered and the guy who owned it added stabilizer to the fuel and a battery tender as well. It fired right up and I loaded it onto my trailer. It has very little rust and has original paint and top. Originally a 361 Commando V8.

It ran low low 13s on 215 street radials when it was in its prime.

Pressed the Tahoe into duty since my Dakota doesn't have a hitch. :facepalm:

What happened, Mr. Rich Saudi Oil Baron, one of the other cars ran out of gas...??? :basketcase:

Nice score, Chris!!! Love those cars.
Looks like I now have to head west on a, ahem, business trip...

:jester:

Wow...nice find. A lot of possibilities with that car.

Very sharp and loaded with day two stuff. Are those M/T or Mopar performance valve covers you scored :jester:

 

[Roadcuda]

Looks like a great buy Chris! I still get them confused, is that a '66?

 

[moparchris]

I guess in my sleep deprived ways i forgot to even say what it is. Its a 67 Belvedere II. It has Mopar valve covers and a chrome unsilenced air cleaner. Hipo manifolds with 2.5 exhaust, MSD 6AL, Mopar distributor (electronic), Edelbrock Performer, Mopar Performance .484 cam, B&M holeshot converter, 727 with shift kit, and a 8.75 with 3.55 sure grip. I just cleaned it (again) and now its ready for a donut tomorrow morning.

Love it Chris

sure looks like a '66 to me :huh: . '67s had four headlights, and the '66s had two with the round park/turn sugnals like yours.

Well, you have been a bit distracted with that other new arrival in your house recently.
