It is very nice lookin but does have a couple small flaws from use over the years.I drive the car so I never made the engine compartment a show piece.I installed a 351W with a C6 for ease of parts and depedabillity. Runs and drives great. Motor was completly rebuilt in 2004. Has about 40K miles on motor. Transmission was rebuilt about 6 years ago. I'm running a Holley Street Avenger carb on it. Carb could use rebuilding do to a dead spot when when accelerating but does not affect the cars depedabillity.

Two of those trips were over 2000 miles each.All head light. Taillights. Turn signals and brake lights work good.The only things the car coukd use but doesn't affect it is it needs a new speedo cable. The dash lights dont work for some reason. The blinker lights do work though.Wiper motor needs replaced. I have always ran without wiper with chrome bullets where the wipers go.Car is for sale locally so I can end auction at any time.
