Hee Haw - 3 Days of Spring

And I had to get my "new" GTX out of storage or pay another month. For you photo-phreaks, a brief half-a-walk-around in the driveway. Note the fabulous oh-range 'cuda in the garage.
I may have been given some "bad" info when I bought it last November. Told it was a 4.10 rearend, but revved like a 3.55. That's what I would have changed it to. Alas, the speedo doesn't work so I'm not sure yet. Was told the choke was disconnected, but not so. Just needs adjusted. Was told it has a Purpleshaft .509 x 292 cam, but it runs like it has something less aggressive. Misses while holding cruising speed, but pulls nice on the low end when asked to. When this engine gets properly tuned it will be a nice street brawler.
Rust to repair, missing parts to replace, carb and ignition to go over, and hopefully the heads and lifters are OK.
