Great thread guys!
You've answered my question on what to do with the 318 2bbl Volare Wagon,or the 79 slant 6 4spd 2dr Volare and all the spare parts in the back corner of the shop!
Our son is showing interest in racing and either one with an auto would appear to be somewhat competitive and affordable class racing starter car for him.
Does anybody know if a scattershield was ever made for the slant 6?
