Thanks for all the uummmm feedback.
I found a muggy on a regional online classified site and snagged it up. $200 rtr, 2 bodies, stock and smaller wheels and tires, about a gallon on the 427, just gotta replace a cracked front bulkhead piece, replace a shock shaft, and replace one of the steering servos, (had one kickin around so no cost). Took it out Friday and I am in love with that 427, only wish it had a two speed in it.
Thanks for the feedback it was helpful.
