Fisher Body had a plant in Fairfield/Hamilton Ohio for years. They made
actual body panels & parts. They went out of business in the early 80's.
When they closed it caused a lot of turmoil in the area as they were the
biggest employer in Fairfield. It was the only time in the history of

Hey all
I went to Google and did a search for "VA state vehicle safety inspection"
I got a long hit list but this one was right up top.
There is nothing in there about steering wheels. And no emmission equipment
is nessasry for 1973 and older cars. All they do is look to see if its even
there.

Bill,
thanks for telling this story. I can feel the
frustration.

like your problem was fixed by spending more time and more money on it.

would have no trouble with it in there again, except for the hard spot I find

Mike, please forward the

The trans is a Raptor
700r4 ( http://www.transmissioncenter.net/ ).
Mine came out of Louisiana though. The reason I bought it was because of
all the high end stuff they put in it. My brother is an ASE mechanic and
has rebuilt about 100 transmissions in his life.
I have never gotten glass
from them. Maybe find out who makes the glass they sell. Maybe it is

Sounds to me like you still may have the problem with the wire coming from

Steve,
I have limited experience, but I do have some, and have been
doing a lot of research.
First, is that a 400 small block? I have heard both good and bad about
that block if so. Make sure it don't have cooling problems.
If it's a Big Block 402 (sometimes called 396 -same block) (also
Is it a 2door isa good question.
$4000 to $4500 isn't a bad asking price for what you described for a 2 door.
It's too high for a 4 door.

I agree, 4500 is a fair price. The true cost is how much you will put into
it down the road. I paid 3500 for my 66 in fair shape with the distinct
understanding that I had a minimum 5000 additional out lay to get it where I
wanted it (at least for starters). But never underestimate the incident

the motor were actually done .have you drove it? Is it a daily driver ?
2door or 4 door? Its pretty tough finding a 35 year old vehicle that looks
and runs good. anyway, half the fun of having a classic is working on it
