Default My 77's First Day On The Road Today For Me

Hi All,

This is the black 77 that I gambled on and I got lucky. The frame & birdcage are perfect. I got plates and NY inspected today.
The L82 matches the VIN & Motor.
The car runs real nice, sounds great with a few little quirks that I will fix in time.
I drove it all day and it runs cool. I had one problem today and it needed a battery. (I replace them first anyway) It died in the lot of my parts house.
Now for the real things, post to follow.

Thanks for the help and thoughts
Jack

Sounds like you wound up with a pretty nice car. Enjoy the new toy and be sure to post a few pics when you get a chance.
