My friend saw it a couple of years ago in pretty wiped out shape. The
original 360 was in it and it ran, but it was pretty tired out. He tried
to buy it, but some guy kept offering more than he did, so it was bought
and carted off somewhere for two years, and then when my friend and his
wife were looking at houses due to the wife popping up pregnant at 48,
and the older kid didn't want to share her room with the baby. When they
were leaving, here comes my car, all restored, with "440" on the hood,
past them, looking like it was built a couple days before.
After following the driver to some car club meeting, he confirmed it's
my old car, the owner found a check deposit slip with my name on it
under the rotten carpet when he took the old interior out. It's got a
stroker 440 in it now, with a TQ and an aluminum intake, big cam, alum
heads, etc. The rebuilt original 360 is in the guys other car, a Duster.
It's somewhere in the Chicago area, but I don't know exactly where. If I
hit the lottery, I'm going to find it one way or another.
