yup,bought it for a daily driver for now,didnt feel like jumpin in debt right now
so i bought a 76 gmc sprint {gmc's version of the elcamino}
full power n all that jazz,mettalic green,alos gonna be using this to tow my transam to the track
perfect 3rd gen hauler!
its gotta 1970 buick 455 ,was talking to lance and he says there rated 390hp and 510 tq...explains why the fuggin thing hauls some ***
also has a TH400trans and 3.73 gears out back
on a side note,im gonna hold off on my transam for now,save up a large lump sum of $$$ and just do it all at once. gotta save for rearend,trans,interior and bodywork **** plus all the other misc items id need.

saves gas for the transam,and towing it with my elky,i can ru nthe elky down the track while im there
and if **** breaks,i gotta way to get it home. makes sense to me.
