So I picked up this 4dr HT off a good friend. Real solid car, it was on kijiji for awhile with a honkin' 302 that one of its previous owners had a buttload of cheddar in. My buddy kept the engine and posi then sold me the rest. Plans are to drop a 351W/AOD combo and drive the wheels off it next summer. Most like...

It's in a buddy's shop for body and paint, going to come back out the same way. Drivers side center pillar needs to be moved in and angled because the doors have never fit right. The car was a pretty big turd when we got it and it was built quick.

There still out there!! Keep looking in backyards and garages, apparently garage sales are an invitation to snoop :) This one is now in the family 2 owner car the 2nd inherited it. She's been parked in the same garage since 75.
