New DFW guy

Hey all just thought id introduce myself. The names Barry. I live out in the midcities area. Got my first 7 a few days ago (86). Car needs some work but I am already enjoying it. Had a idle around 1500 but went back to normal when I changed the battery. Anyway hope to see some of you guys around in the area!

Oh and sorry for the crappy phone pics.

Paid 1700 for it. 320,xxx mile on the body and a little under 90k on the motor. It runs really good and the body is decent as well. A bit of wear and tear in areas but the owners have takin good care of it.

For the miles on it, it looks pretty good! It looks like you need a front tire; I think you're running on a spare.

Welcome!

Thanks for the comment TIICONV89! I am really enjoying this car a lot. I have always wanted one since I was younger. Want to start working on it but as of right now I am still reading up on this car. I want to be able to rebuild these motors myself.
