The story

This was a field find that had been setting for about 12 years. Previous owner says that it had about 6000 miles on rebuilt engine. He had also grafted on a 72 front end. It came with a full set of chrome magnum 500's. I paid $250 for the whole thing. Since I've owned it I've pulled the engine to freshen it up and also had the trans rebuilt. Currently just a weekend driver with future plans of a total restoration. — elh6155
