As I understand it, water pump impellers are inclined to rot (among other things that I'm as yet unaware of). What other concerns should I keep in mind? I'm trying to perserve some level of comfort in having...

Well, destiny didn't necessarily win out the day.....

..........or did it? I didn't pull the trigger on the '77 I looked at, but I pulled the trigger on a '79 in Racine, WI that I hadn't seen. Looks as close to pristine as a 1979 is going to be.

Not so fast.......

I sincerely appreciate all the kind words, thoughts and advice. Besides the '77 we looked at Sunday, I'm now seriously looking at two others in the general vicinity.

Close to pulling the trigger on a 1977 F36

New guy in town........... I've been enamored with the Trojan F-series sedans since growing up boating on Michigan's Lake St. Clair - the guy in the well next to my father's boat had a sharp F32 (background: I was piloting my father's 1968 36' Chris Craft Cavalier double cabin when I was about 13 ye...
