    Is nicer than I thought! I bout it for just that, a parts car incase something ever happened to my 83. It has a built up 350, handles awesome, goes like stink but I honestly have never even looked under the car. Interiour is trash, paint shot, rust creaping out from under all the chrome, but it has this...

    Well yesterday I finnaly got a fat envelope with reciets of parts and work done buy the 2nd to last seller. Holly Sh**, alot of $ was put into this car! Although the work was done a few years ago it's still Holly Sh**!

    $3307 at a machine shop
    $1208 at Napa just for parts...brakes,rotors, calipers, drums, bearings,bushings yada,yada...it just goes on
    $386 for the dual flowmaster exhaust parts
    $602 for springs all around + install
    $???? for the tranny, no reciet but have the waranty papers
    $??? for the headers also
    $1820 for the American mags and BFG tires.
    + a wack load of misc parts reciets

    2 years ago this wagon came up for sale, I posted it in the clasifeds and then again when the guy I got it from put it up for sale. I remember the origonal seller claiming over $8grand invested.... he really did!


    Gawd, I wish I had the time etc to swap all this into my 83!:banghead3:

    You're a lucky guy!
    I'd clean that up enough to drive it, then have a lot of fun with it.:chirp:

    Thanks man:cheers:, I honestly would like to just drive it, but the interiour is so bad.... I wouldn't. I would clearly have to find a 4 door sedan with a red interiour to swap front seats, all door panels.

    That is a great deal, even if the car is rusty, just start moving parts as you can. At worst you have em when you need em.

    I'm jealous. :mischeif: Where do you leave this car? :slap: Did I just type that outloud?
