I had the chance to buy this for about 1900 US two years ago. I passed on it but now I think I should have bought it. Tell me what you think.

The fact that body looks straight and there is a 454 there, I'd say it might have been a great deal.

I think you are right Mark. I should have bought it. It is a 1986 and the body was straight with somewhat new paint. The BB swap looked like it was well done. At the time I was pouring money into my Iroc otherwise it would have been a no brainer.

looks like a SC but the fact that it has a 454 in it wouldn't have let me pass it up "for 1,900"... my new sleeper
