We got a good start on the Checker Limo ,it had been sadly neglected in years past! The paint had been stripped and then was left out in the weather for years . Was this some sick endurance test?, If so the weather won!! The plugs also had been removed from the engine and rust had locked up the motor . It had been filled with Wd-40 , marvel mystery oil ,you name it we tried it but alas the little small block would not turn over!The pistons had to be beat out of the block and several of the lifters refused also to budge.I mean it was rough , and so is the body with rusted through spots on the floors ,roof and hood as well as the door bottoms so its nasty! Its been suggested that this P.O.S. just bee retired and not fixed well I'm sure there are better candidates for a build but few have such a storied past !Danny Cole the owner of the Checker has many cool stories of canoe trips and camp outs where the Checker was the mode of transportation.To see pics of the Checker in action visit the SHANTI restaurant in Collierville Tn.Heck stop in and have a big ole steak or some juciey pork chops ,shrimp,wings and of course a cold beer the let Danny tell you some tales ! The Shanti is a land mark eatery and every body has a great time there. great food, good service, and good times go see em! 901-861-7177
