RiKi5156B Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) First drive for my 40 special sedan since the original owner parked it in 71. I got it around 2004-6. Small recap: frame on, stock body, red/black vinyl interior,twin carb/ exhaust 41 super fresh build, stock trans,3.60 gear out of 50 special. Red stock wheels wide whites fatman 2" dropped spindles.So just went around a 4 block area to get oil circulating and heat up. 180 degrees and stayed there. Only issue was fan belt slipping and bad fuse in stereo. Maybe tomorrow will be a bit of fluff and buff.

Morgan Wright Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 You got the car in 2004 and have no pictures of it yet? In 17 years, no pics? OK place all bets, $1000 says the car doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiKi5156B Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) I went from a cellphone where all my pics were to this laptop which I haven't even figured out the camera on yet.

RiKi5156B Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 In the time since I got it I've been through 6 motorhomes still have two, bought and sold 4 Buicks still have two, motorcycles too many to remember still have 2 and doing a light restore on my really nice 52 F1.Some of this activity has taken time from the 40 but as of now I'm down to front alignment, charge the a/c first time, and a really good fluff and buff. And I need a year of manufacture 40 Washington plate. All retirement fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
