What are your plans with this car? These cars are awesome slammed.
I'm building a 65 currently. 22's bagged with slam bags and accuair controls, penske shocks, wegner spec engine just shy of 600hp, lambo giallo yellow for paint, frenched side arrows, SQ driven boston acoustics sound system SPG555 with tunable radiator, SPZ 6.5 components, couple of BA amps, all black leather interior and some other crap. Should be a pretty cool land yacht.Mark Pearce

Mark your 65 sounds like its goin to be a sweet ride! Do you have any pics?? I have a 65 4door also that Im tryin to sell. Well this is goin to be the wife cars but who know maybe it will show up at SEMA 2011. Plans are about the same, airbag, nice sound system, black body with a different color roof, gonna keep all the trim but remove the door handles.
Here are some pics of the mess I found in the 390.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

You should always change the oil once every ten years whether it needs it or not.

Ehh, urban legend! I have always run the yellow stuff with no problems. Heck, one 90 chevy truck I had put over 450,000 on it and overheated it twice, BAD! It looked like it had about 50,000 on it when I pulled the heads off to put new headgaskets on it when it had 400,000 on it! Originally Posted by 6'9"Witha69
In case you were wondering why I did not rebuild it then, well with those kind of miles, it was pretty much just a science project to see how long it would go. I sold it with 450k on it and it was still running hard.
Just keep it clean and changed fairly regular and oil will be oil IMO!
