samuel930 Report post Posted February 10, 2007 Finally got the car. All I can say is wow, what a beauty. You can definitely tell that it is nearly 40 years old. The smell, sounds, look. The weather is cold so I have barely driven it but my early impressions are... Steering is a bear at low speeds, trying to maneuver it into the garage, I felt my wrist breaking. Makes the CT seem easy. Clutch, much easier than the CT, no comparison. Shifting, almost like a normal car, nothing like the CT. The synchos definitely need some attention. Starts easily, idles great. Sounds less impressive than the CT. More to follow. Sorry about the quality of the pics, it is dam cold.

12097 Report post Posted February 11, 2007 Congrats. First red one I have seen. The pics aren't clear enough to say for sure, but is that an underdash a/c unit on the passenger side? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any plans to finish off the garage, even simple sheetrock, texture and paint, insulate and heat and hang out there, don't you like to do 'visuals'? I never get tired of looking at nice lines. We have very similar tastes! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuel930 Report post Posted February 11, 2007 Yes, that is an AC where the glove box should be, it is a factory unit. Hope it works. As for the garage, my plans are to finish the inside this summer. Drywall, paint, tile floor, arcade games and a bar. Heating unit a must. Right now, I'm out of space and no room to build more. 5 cars, that's my limit. Something has to go soon. The 76 930 is a great car, had it for about 15 years now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me Know. Lifts are a great idea, I am also limited to 5 cars right now and have started seriously looking at lifts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuel930 Report post Posted February 11, 2007 Had the car detailed yesterday. Had to drive about 5 miles. I'll tell you, this car nobody knows what it is, a few stares but nothing like the CT. The visibility is so good, windows all around. I think I'm really going to like this thing. For those going to the Poconos, come find me. Few more pics.
