When was the Roll Empire last on the road?

[rick99601]

IIRC two years ago. parked because of the heater core.

closer to 4 or 5 more likely.

down to checking the pinscer switch and putting in a new fuel pump.

it wants to run, i can tell.. it fires up for just a second like despite the lack of a fuel pump the engine is sucking fuel through the lines via capalary action or something. maybe built up fumes who knows.

ive been kind of curious to the lack of response to this thread... not so much dissappointed, just curious.

i was never a fan of this style of roof.. but I suppose i can stop worrying and learn to love the bomb.

it does have dual exhaust (hpipe innit), most of it is intact. and thos radical turbine wheels (ok i just heard they were radical here, but they are almost like the general lee wheels. just with more fins amirite?)

Is the interior in decent shape?

[rick99601]

i would want to pull that roof off right now, due to the shape its in.


c'mon guys, what should he do to it?

I didn't respond because I didn't know what to say... Never seen the car before, no words or explanations...no clue as to what was going on.
As the old saying goes, "difficult to answer when you don't understand the question".

Anyway, best of luck with the car. Looks like a good project.
What are your plans with it?

its aight. I was going to take a torch to it and turn it into some sort of post cyber apocolypse road warrior type vehicle, but I might fix it up and trade it for a toyota instead.

Cloth roof is called a carriage top. It has a fiberglass shell under the cloth, and its part of the back window surround. They look amazingly retarded with the cloth ripped off too, and removing that shell is somewhat difficult as its glued to the roof of the car, and there are some really ugly body seams underneath.

nice although I'm not a fan of that roof lol should be great once you get her back on the road
