Re: How to verfy that I have a 1983 dayton pace car

well, the car arrived and is verfyed as the real deal, It needed som TLC and the prosses is under way!
The cross-fire injection is swapt for a 350 witch is borred to 355 and a 5 speed manuel to go with it.
I`v fixed the speedo so this now works and Im now giving it new header and a hoely carb. This winter I`m going to send the seats to bee re-polsterd and the same with the headliner (Cost a fortune i norway!)
Then re-paint the wole car! (of colurs the paint and decals stay the same)

Well thats the lates for Norway
