The 61 is home, I started it up, put in some brake fluid, gave the
pedals a few pumps and drove it all over the neighborhood.
What a site! No floors, rocker panels actually scraping along the road
as I drove it.
Good tranny, clutch slips a wee bit, good strong engine but we did
manage to boil it over. I guess my son and his 4 buddies driving it all
over didn't help what ever was in the radiator for the past 20 something
years.
Brake lites work, one signal, all gauges and yes it has a mechanical
tach with a working tach drive, even the generator works.
All it needs is some minor sheetmetal work like floors, sills, bonnet,
boot lid, fenders, and what ever fell off while we were driving it.
What a blast, I took pictures, it was an unbelievable site to see a car
this far rusted yet running and driving and very well I might add.
