    Recent like I'm still waiting for the title to come in the mail. This thing's been sitting in my best friend's garage for a good 8 years. Was his mom's car for about a summer before she bought something with a 4 banger for gas mileage. Basically box stock, only mods are the hood, a 600cfm Edelbrock and aluminum Holley intake, and some of the emissions stuff has been removed (That and what's left of the a/c is going soon). I got it with a 2 inch thick file of ALL the receipts and service records from the original owner. I have every document for the car down to directions to the place my friend's family originally bought it from.

    It's going to stay pretty basic build up wise, headers/exhaust, some suspension work, tires/wheels and I'm going to pull the sound system out of my truck and swap it over. Be a lot more fun to drive every day than my wheeling rig. The park benches on either end will be either modded or done away with too.
