My brother liberated one of those brand new off the lot when he was 16.
Why?... I don't know, he won't talk about it to this day.
They caught him fast, it was a little hard to remain incognito in the only Checker wagon in town that wasn't an extended airport taxi.

 

Cool car, wouldnt be another one at a show

 

Wait a minute, Blue. Your brother stole a brand new car off a lot and it was a Checker wagon? What was he thinking. If he was going to steal something, why not go for a GTO or a Mustang or something fun? A Checker?!!!

 

I think that's why he won't talk about it, the shame must be unbearable.
There was a Poncho dealer right next door too, I delivered papers there and the lot was full of Goats.
If your going to go down for something you should make it worthwhile or take everybody out with you.

 

BAD NEWS!

The owner called.

The bad news; it is affordable and about a days work from being driven and passing inspection.

More bad news... it was never a cab! :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

My shop is filling.:banghead3:

 

one of 413 built
original GM 283 and trans
all glass is good

 

So when do you pick it up, '64?

 

It's sure eatin' me. I am hoping someone will jump in here and tell me that its junk!

 

We don't post no junk........well, except for an occasional Renault.

 

...and we all know who's fault that Renault was.

 

Maybe there was some cervaza or vino involved in your brother's thinking that day??

 

I say...buy it, get it running, sneak it into your bro's driveway at night, get your policeman buddy to park his patrol car at the end of the driveway, 6 AM, or so. Ring up the bro' and say "hey...what the hey out front of your house"?
Or...maybe not...

 

I'm kinda partial to the Continental sixes in the older ones. But a 283 is not a bad engine. Would make a great platform for a Twin Turbo'd LS3. You'd have all the room in the world.
