AMC RULES 36,945 #1 Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) ...well...actually, very gifted indeed, considering the Joisey Hawg Glenn passed this gorgeous example of a '68 500 Special on to me today. All for just the price of gas to stop by and pick it up...what do you think, was my lucky day, or what? As you can see, I'm pretty happy, was a really great time hanging out with Glenn and the boys this afternoon.

AMC RULES 36,945 #5 Posted September 12, 2015 Nice roller Craig...you gonna put it back together?? Definitely will be going back together Terry...was reassembling it in the bed of the truck before I left Glenn's today.Just, although it could go back original...it just too, might end up with a slight modification from the way it left the factory. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,952 #10 Posted September 12, 2015 For some reason I was never a fan of the first design after the roundhoods. But after getting Skonk. I love em. You know how much I like Tecky's but an Indy is on my bucket list. When I get tired of my RJ I may move it and begin the hunt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fireman 1,021 #14 Posted September 12, 2015 I though you were having a sale cause you were out of room. Why don't you "pay it forward" and pass that on to me. I happen to have just enough room for one more tractor. I have a real nice 8 horse pull start Kohler to drop right in there! Seriously! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 36,945 #24 Posted September 12, 2015 Pretty much, all back together now... just got a no spark issue to deal with...but I think it's because of the mouse hotel all packed in behind the engine tins. Just had to call the game because of rain. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
