I bought this car from its original owner. He passed it along to his son and then his son was moving on and the car stayed. They started to restore the car in some areas and stopped because of his sons tragic death. I bought this car for $1700 dollars and it did not run. They have taken nice care of this car. I wanted the car for the body, then found out that all the car needed was a carb, plugs, wires and a few other things that needed replaced inside the distributer cap. I worked for two weeks getting this car in shape. I called the previos owner and found out that the car has not ran in six years. i got worried, so... I finally got the car started and that car is fast. I called the prev. owner and asked about the motor and got a list of things that have been modified. I have been in a finacial struggle right now (got laid off) but the car still needs lots of work but I still have some minor problems to work out in the engine compartment. The motor is a 350 out of a 1977 chevy truck. I bought a 454 to replace the 350 but I got the 350 running so I will wait till I get the 454 ready for the drop.
