About this Current Vehicle:

This is a plain-jane 61 leSabre. 364 Nailhead with dynaflight. Dirt Cheap, and needs a little work. She just started her first job in order to get money to build it up.

Factory Options:

Not many

Exterior Modifications:

Rust

Interior Modifications:

Add one mouse....

Performance:

Pretty slow, motor seized.... Filled her up with tranny fluid and hope that will free her up. Have pulled the rocker arm shafts (hard to find) and put those away safely. They are in great shape. The 2barrel and intake are in good shape, and overall the motor is in great shape. Suspect that since it sat in a field for 6 years, the rings rusted to the walls. If we can free it up, she should be okay. Parts for these things are expensive!

Suspension/Chassis:

Surprisingly good, has one broken swaybar link....
Still figuring out how we want to add disk brakes to her.

Drivetrain:

Very heavy, and incredibly expensive to repair! Lookup Nailheads...
Haven't had a chance to test out the trans, but suspect that she will want to upgrade that. Have seen a few outfits adapting TH350's to old Nailheads. Will get the Pertronix under cap conversion, I still hate points!

Electronics:

None, this thing is 46 years old!!!!

To-Do List:

N/A
