1979 Chevrolet Scottsdale custom review from North America
"My first car and my last car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything was junk when I first got it on my 15th birthday.
Blown motor when I got it.
General comments?
I put a 327 out of a corvette, aluminium heads. bored 30/over. I put a turbo 400 tans-mission with a monster shift kit. Next was the rear end, I went with a 411 12 bolt rear end. dressed the outside with a custom metallic silver, then took seats from a newer Chevy truck that are leather and put a stereo system with 4 12inch polkaudio sub-woofers, and had to run 3 batteries to power them.
This truck runs like a beast and turn heads. You can hear it well before you can see it. I take it to plenty of shows, and though it is not stock restoration people still enjoy it.
