    I got a line on a 74 roller, c4 trans. Owner is asking $800. Obviously still needs to be inspected up close but what do you guys see? I got a 302 ready to drop in it. Anyone know anything about those front seats? It's about 70 miles from me.

    Looks like a good parts car. What were you thinking?

    Not sure, I see a lot of trim pieces. Wondering about the rear quarters, door jambs, and firewall. Those are problem areas on my current car. Maybe if that body is overall better than mine I can use that as a base between the 2. It would be nice if both of my doors matched.

    Oh yea, especially after seeing that fender. May have had a battery meltdown.

    My guess, after looking at the top of that front fender, is the car is full of bondo.
