New Acquisition (71' 2wd)

Well, I suppose I couldn't stay out of it for long. Seen this one in my home town before and liked it, this was the second time it was up for sale and I just figured what the hell and called on it. Happened to belong to a friend of my dad and it was passed around between this guy, his father and their other friend for the past 25 years. He's owned it for about 10 of those and after looking around for a while (really hoping the blue one I sold would pop back up for sale), I figured this was priced right and even though it is not a CST or anything it would be a good one.

71' factory 2wd
454/T350 (~3200 miles)
Dropped coils and a-arms, c-notch
Smoothed top and ghost flames

Not really much more to it, I just bought it as a cruiser. I'm flying back to Washington next month to pick it up from my dads garage and will probably drive back over 6 days and visit some places with it.

More pictures to come later but here are a few.

By gods, you are right! Haha, can't believe I missed that. Probably because the interior...well, the truck isn't exactly stock. I've been so busy working on my transition out of the Navy that my eye for detail seems to have left me. Thanks! haha.
