One and a half 360's

My 360 story is as follows: I didn't even know the car existed until I started researching parts for my 78 brat. I went to the local junkyard that had older Subarus. Buried in the weeds were two little cars that turned out to be a van and a young. the young had no windows and was an overflowing storage bin for what looked like Camaro parts. The van had enough briars around, on and in that all of the doors were sealed. My brother in law needed a small car for a stage production of the Full Monty, so we bought both cars for 750.00!. the young had no title and was the former home of countless rodents judging by the amount of walnuts filling the floor. The decision was made to cut the young. I hear the gasps, but I feel good about it. We saved the car from rotting in a junkyard and made it a star of the stage! It looks awesome, and we have gotten many compliments. the van is complete and I am working on trying to get it back on the road. I am going to need a lot of help from all of you to get it back into glory. It is complete, but I am sure i am starting down a path that many of you have taken in the past. The back half of the young is still in my garage, and I am more than willing to part it out to help anybody that needs it. Thanks to everyone for all of the future help, and I am very excited about being a member in this little community.

more happy talk to come!

Dave - welcome to the Club! We got our 360 van 36+ years ago and still drive it every day. The Book of Reprints answers 95% of all questions that 360 owners ask, it is INDEXED to find what you need easily, and available online (free) on CD and in print (at cost), whatever you prefer.

Hope yours is on the road soon, if you have any questions the Book doesn't answer please E-MAIL me and use a large font.

Any chance there is a halfway decent fuel tank in the back half you have ? I am on the look out for one as mine is highly perforated!

No sir! The gas tank was a casualty of the effects of years of Camaro parts storage. it fell apart in my hands when i first started cleaning the car out. The only thing left is the fuel pump. Sorry, Scott

Hi Dave,

Welcome! By all means post questions on anything at all as you go through your van. Also, broswing through the forum threads, and using the "search" feature here can turn up answers to questions.

I hope that you have found my website and have downloaded all the manuals...

Please post pictures!
