Hey Vic, would you ask him for me? I am only looking to spend about $500 though. I'm sure theres one out there somewhere. Put my clone of my monster engine back in something. Just want it to be a pontiac.

I've got an '87 Formula I'll be getting rid of in a couple months. No engine, trans, wiring, fuel tank, etc. Body is okay, but has some areas that need rust repair. Can be as stripped as you want it to be...
