RMRE tribute car

[Dwight Southerland]

Here's a twisted suggestion: Recreate a famous RMS 277 cu in modified motor from the '70s complete with hacked over Holley 660s on a welded up tunnel ram and Moroso gold valve covers, put a clutch operated 5-speed behind it, put it in the car, and see if there is still anyone out there who can drive such a beast.

This thing was Jane's engagement ring as she needed a car more than a ring. It was our family car until we were pregnant with 2nd child. I then kept it in storage so I would remember what year we got married. Put a battery in it last week and it fired right up. That Stable gas stuff works! One front brake stuck and gooey pedal so repop brakes all around. Thanks for the suggestions. I kinda' like Dwight's idea as I often go in the RMRE shop attic. I bet there is enough stuff to make that 277. They should be on "Pickers".

This thing will need a serious diet if raced. Has sound deadening package, power windows, etc etc. Everything except T tops. I will mull it over while having a toddy this weekend.

PS It had the gold stripe package with the wide embedded Z28 on the lower door. Build sheet shows D88 sport stripe and 53A #1 gold stripe

I am a huge RMS fan however I also own a 1980 Z28 that is all original other than the tires. As cool as a stocker build would be, I respectfully suggest leaving car in its stock condition, replace stripe kit and enjoy ... or possibly sell to me really cheap !!!

Spyphish, I'll give you your money back.... No really as long as every thing is intact with the family KEEP the car,do the stripes and ect. and enjoy the car as it looks like a nice car. Gary
