"Custom Stock"...oh on the tires?! I always thought that was funny as well. And hell yeah, early 80's ya *had* to have raised white letter tires on your Camaro. You weren't badass if you didn't LOL. When I found it in CT, it was on jack-stands without any wheels on it. I could hear it run, but that's it. He said he had some "rollers" he could put on it to drive up the flatbed. Cool. The Rally Wheels were a bonus..he said that's what it had on it when he originally bought it. I bought it from him that day and just wanted it to my house as quickly as possible as I knew if someone else saw it like I did, they'd give him more as all I had was a handwritten "Bill Of Sale". I had to do a "Title App", I don't think you needed a Title in CT at the time, it was too old plus he only raced it, never put it on the Street so it didn't seem to be a priority with him. So I call a buddy of mine that owns a flatbed and he agrees to meet me in the sticks of CT and bring it to my house which is about 15 mins. No. of Boston. So I drive down there with my girlfriend at the time (thank God I brought her) and we're waiting and waiting and now it's getting dark and this guy is getting weird. So I got sick of waiting and I jump in it and drive it home (my girlfriend drove my truck home). No headlights, just running lights, no side glass at all, etc. I can't believe I didn't get stopped or arrested. The brakes worked but the pedal itself was a bit wobbly. The transmission (factory auto) was alright once you got it going but low gears were rough and it would idle really high before it caught and got going. It's a TH400 but I think i'm going to put a TH2004R in it so I don't have to monkey with the driveshaft (as in shorten it). I love the thought of "overdrive" in one of these.
