'65 Crown V8 Monza

"I found this V8 car on Craigslist near Bremerton, Wa. it was an uncompleted project that appears to have been started in the very early 70's and have, to the best of my knowledge, most everything that could be bought for a Crown conversion has been installed. The previous owner passed away so most of the origins are only a best guess. The previous owner was however a machinist for the Navy and apparently had done most of the work himself along with his brother. There is a freshly (old) built 327 SBC mounted in the backseat.
Without personal knowledge of the build, I intend to disassemble the engine to identify the components used and replace all the seals and gaskets, surely they have set hard over the decades of sitting."

New Project - December, 2025
Recently purchased a '66 Monza Corv8 Crown conversion w/327 Chevy. It had apparently been driven a small amount by previous owner, but will need a good going through to get it back on the road. Best thing is it looks to be complete and nearly on the road.
