Right behind you, my delivery date is coming up in about 10 days, on or around Aug 27/28, 2025
I already have the 289 engine machined and ready to assemble.
Rear end will be 3 link and is getting completely rebuilt.
Transmission will be rebuilt as well.
Good luck and have fun!

Hi Josh, welcome from Amelia Island! I’ll be taking delivery of a Coupe in late December. It’ll be good to have another “local” to commiserate with!

Best of luck with the build. Good to have some more North FLA guys on here.
