So my name is Jeff and i am new here. I just Inherited a 77 Scorpion 440 whip with only 554 miles on it. I was my fathers and he wanted to get ride of it so I took since i did alot of work on it when I was younger. I replaced one of the pistons a few years ago because it got a hole in it got (my dad thinks everything should be 50:1) and it runs great.
There are a few cosmetic flaws such as rusted skis and a small crack in the hood and shell where my mom would always bump it with her car when pulling into the garage, so the windshield sags in the middle. The track is like new because my father always kept the back propped up so it would be off the ground. The needle on the speedometer fell off when unloading it from the trailer. Thing is original and i will try to post pics.
My father bought it new in 77 and only had it out a hand full of times because my brother was born in 82 so after that it just sat in the garage until 02 when I started messing with it. It hasn't been started in 3years but last time I had it started no problems.
