Really nice car. It has a 302 with a 4speed and the previous owner has done a lot of work on it. The only real problems it has is a messed up radiator and a leaking heater core. I got a radiator last night and I'm having it checked out today so we'll find out if its good or not. The interior has been redone, new paint, motor was worked over with a Mild Cam and Edelbrock intake and carb, new bumpers, new suspension front and rear, new exhaust, and a bunch or other little things. I'm not entirely set on what I'm going to do with this car. I'd like to throw some modern wheels on it, 17" Bullits or maybe black FR500s, depending on how they look. The dash is going to be redone a little, I hate the orange. PLanning on putting in a Hall's Restoration set of gauges (Autometer gauages behind the standard black dash) and changing all the dash trim back to the orginal black. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do besides that right now. The paint wasn't done completely wonderful and I'm not sure if they didn't spray clear on it or what, but its flat and werid looking. I kinda want to keep the orange now that I've seen it, but I'm not sure. Overall, I really like this car and can't wait to get it running good and be able to drive it every now and then, its a fun car for sure. And no, my car won't be as spectacular as Dal's 67 or uncltrvlnmatt's 4v swap, so dont expect that from me just yet hahaUPDATE: I've been going over many different setups and products for the car and I've started to narrow down exactly what I want to do with this car. My plans are for a fun driving car that I can drive to the show and back and then toss it around on the autocross track. So here's what I have decided on so far. Theres a lot more I want to do and a bunch of little parts I didn't mention but here are the biggies. I'll add some more as I go.Wanted Parts List:RideTech Levell II AirRide system New tubular A-Arms 4-Link Rear Airsuspension with RidePro-e3 Control SystemVintage Venom Disc/Wheel Conversion Kit Mach1 Disc Brakes New Hoses Adapters17x8 Black FR500 WheelsShelby Front Clip with bumper deleteDeluxe Rear PanelLED TaillightsFiberglass rear trunk lidAutometer ProComp Gauges in new Black BezelsT5 Swap[/img]jpg[/img]<img src="http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb129/duh-09/144.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
