I just got back from car, the VIN is 631M08269, the build date 10D. I will get my sister to download photos from my phone to my computer. Here is the my visual condition of the car.

There should not be a letter in that position of the VIN.

I will get better pictures tomorrow of the VIN and data plate. At best this is a parts car. It has been setting at the edge of a field. The exterior stainless trim is nice, no floor pan, Convertible top bows are good, I do not think it can be fixed without costing a lot. There is also a 63 F85 coupe there V8 column shift auto. Steve

Geez! I’d love to find a 63 or 64 F85!

I did look into this some on Sunday. They are a little misleading about the cooling. It does not absorb heat as well as water but the engine temps on many cars would not change. On some cars the engine temp will be a little higher. If your cars cooling system is just barely large enough to keep the engine cool with water then it is likely going to…[Read more]

What are the biggest complaints about the Evans? I’ve heard the arguments for it, but other than cost, haven’t heard anything against it.

Good news, I pulled the distributor and before pulling the oil pump apart I tried to prime with a drill. It took a minute but it primed up. Put the distributor back in it and fired up and the oil light went out. As long as it is ok till after Homecoming then I will be happy. I am rebuilding it when I restore the car.
