After a slow-motion search that started in 2007 and featured a couple of states and a few false starts, I pulled the trigger on a '77 just a couple of miles down the way back in August. The PO's kids called her "Fern," and it seems like bad karma to change the name, so Fern she is.
62k on the clock, but surely been around once, 2f under the hood with a Carter AFB carb and Offenhauser intake manifold. OME shocks w/ new HFE shackles courtesy of the PO. Rust all around with the sill rotted to nearly nothing and diamond plate covering a swiss-cheese tub, but she runs like a top and the interior is in surprisingly excellent shape. Might get serious and swap in an Aqualu tub down the line and some fenders without holes in them. For now though I'll turn a blind eye and just enjoy putzing around Montana!
