Possible donor car

I found this and am contacting him about picking it up soon. I think it'll be a good parts car. I can swap the 350 into my car and sell my 305, pull the rear and swap into mine, and sell the other parts that I don't need and make a little money too. I can probably turn a profit.

Nice catch steve. When you are all done with it, I'm sure you can sell the remains to Eric lol.

Ooh, a Formula, good stuff.
I bet it has quite a few nice parts you could swap.

Look at those pics. What could be damaged as a result of that accident that lives in the engine bay?

No mention of the mileage on the clock.

I'll give you 200 for the rear.

After a refresh or 2 I noticed he has '88 and '89 listed as the year.
Then I see a pic of the engine bay and it has the older intake style from '87 I thought, probably '88 too.
So I'm guessing '88.
You could probably sell the rims for 1-2 alone.
Which rear is it? Probably 2.77's?

Are you already TPI? If you sell the TPI, how much? It's always nice to have one for an old project. My '54 is gonna be TPI. My wife wants a '73,4,5 Stepside 4X4. I'll probably go TPI on it when I find one.

I'm sorry Harjeet. I had money all ready for him for a rear when you put me in touch with him. His follow up was awful so I bagged it. Steve, if you want to try it out with this guy by all means go for it...

At this point, the brakes are my next thing. Maybe a new rear end after that.
