    Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. But here's some pics. It's a '70.

    The paint was decent at one time, but the clear coat is peeling in several place, so it will need a repaint.

    It won't be a drag car. I have a built 351w and a t-5 to go in it for a street car. Just don't know if I'm going to keep it and restore it or sell it.

    I have too many projects going, and I also picked up a 1967 Ranchero yesterday.

    Wow. That's clean. What's up with the hole in the tail light panel? Was that for a killswitch?

    Yes, it had a kill switch. History as a drag car. Battery in trunk also. But, no cage. Has what looks like mid 80s Mustang seats in it. At one time had a 5.0 C-4 combo in it. Also no gas tank. But, I may have a line on one.

    Yes, I want to restore the Ranchero. It is an H code (390, 2V) car. C-6, 9" also. I think it's worth saving.
