History
I bought this car with a 350 and turbo350 tranny, disc brake conversion and dropped spindles, vintage air air conditioning. It has 2 passenger seats and a 69 center console. Previous owner did not disclose the full extent of cancer on the car so I'm doing a lot of body work right now. It's ok though, I'm getting to know the car really good. Found a 6" putty knife, what was left of a chisel an several newspapers in the right rear quarte when cutting out a bad piece of metal. The last guy pop riveted a thin piece of aluminum over the bad spot and just bondoed it. Looks like about a 20 y/o resto and someone just wanted to sell it quick. I'm cutting all the bad stuff out and fabbing new patches. Put on a set of 18x8 front and 20x8 American racing torq thrust 2 wheels. Soon to add a set of tubular a arms and BMR 1inch drop spring front and rear.

Modifications

Drivetrain
Obnoxious loud and full of chrome
Interior
2 passenger astro buckets and a 69 center console.
Update, I finally located a bench seat and I'm relocating the shifter forward. Buckets and console with SS chevelle shifter are for sale
Exterior
Repairing a ton of cancer. Car is an exciting array of multi color sand through areas and primer right now. Looks cool. I'm about to paint a ficticious speed shop logo on the door to keep with the ratty fast hot rod theme. At least until I'm ready for real paint. My boy (7y/o) thinks that's a cool idea too.
Audio
350/350 combo right now. Looking for the right LS combo in the near future
