    That's a pretty cool looking car. 'Needs chrome bumpers and the scoops should be the same color as the hood. Other than that, I really like it.

    I agree with Crazy Larry. I like chrome bumpers and color match scoops. Sweet orange!! I'm looking forward to updates on this car.

    For right now its getting an edelbrock performer rpm intake and a street demon 625 I picked up.
    It will get odds and ends until spring when the 351 gets pulled to be stroked to a 408 and the trans built with a 9" install.

    Thanks everyone.......
    Its not my car so I don't feel guilty about admitting I got the car for 2900. Its not perfect at all but seeing how I have almost that in my hunk of junk I think I got a hell of a deal.

    You stole it if you only paid $2,900, it is a hell of a deal

    The crazy thing is the guy selling it bought it from his Neihboor to resell for a profit.........he listed it for 2900.......
    When I saw the ad I figured the asking price was a typo. Talked to him and that's what he wanted so I shot over with the cash and snatched it up.

    So far appears to be a stock 351w and c4 with headers and exhaust and traction bars. Gets great oil pressure and runs cool so I'll slap a performer rpm and a street demon on it until we get a roller block to stroke to a 408 :)
