    I really kind of like this one. I don't even mind the steering wheel. Needs some work and one would want to check the frame carefully but it looks pretty solid. 351C/2bbl is great! Slap a new manifold and 4bbl on there and you have the makings of a great motor. IIRC the 2bbl heads are really much more appropriate for street use.

    I suspect that his price expectations are a bit high given the amount of detail work needed but will be interesting to watch.

    2.05" Intake and 1.65 Exhaust, canted valves and HUGE ports for a small block. Definitely lots of go-fast stuff right from the factory.

    I cant get over how neat the front is on these things, and as red 2 door with a white strip, nothing comes close (except for a certain black 77 firebird)! But 5mph bumper laws or not, that rear bumper from a front side on view and looking back just looks plain wrong.
