I just picked this up for $100 from a guy down the street and thought I'd share. The body has a ton of rust, but most of the mechanical stuff is in salvagable condition. I mainly got it for the engine and transmission. The engine does not currently run, but it turns over freely by hand (he said it ran when he parked it), and the transmission shifts freely. It also had some bonus OG carbuerators in the trunk :) (I sent keifernet a PM to see if he needed them as cores). The wife is not real happy about it :roll: , but she tolerates it. I just realized I forgot to take pic's of the engine :oops:, oh well it's not much to look at anyway.

Sh!t for a $100 dollars! SCORE.. Pull the engine/trans and sell anything else you can and make your money back! :wink:

I wonder if the Einsteins who thought of putting foam inside the side window vents know how much misery they caused
