Nice little beater

With lots of potential. My boss just acquired it a few days ago. Lots of new parts ordered (that's the fun part). Numbers matching BB Pontiac 400 auto.

Looks to be in fairly decent condition. Great project.

I would SO just drive that as is. Maybe find a suitable rear bumper (with similar patina).

Just don't paint it that same, dog ugly, green color. You did not buy it from someone that lived on Ione Dr in Sacramento did you? There was a car just like the one pictured that was over there for quite some time.

No, East coast. Runs and drives, but I think he's already ordered $4K worth of parts including new vinyl roof.

He also just got a split bumper 71 Camaro in about the same, (no a bit better) condition. Several people have tried to buy it already, so it will go for about $15K

Also that Firechicken will be restored fairly quickly, things happen fast at this shop.

He and I are sort of, in business together mostly so we can play with cars.

We do this for a living. Load and unload cargo ships.

I like the Pontiac. I'm afraid the Africaborg is a bit of a boat though.

Same rust problem for the ship and the car. I agree with leaving the car in trailer park patina, I would have to fix the headliner though.

Hate to be the overly-technical douche but there's no such thing as a BB Pontiac, as their blocks are dimensionally the same, 326-455.
