I bought this car a few months back and spent a lot of time and money making it into almost a "turn key car". It has a 305 with a 350 trans (not the original), the engine runs strong and transmission shifts smooth. One day after I purchased the car, I topped off the fluids gave it a look over, then took it on a three hour drive out to Madison and back and it ran great, drove straight and everything functioned correctly. I painted the engine bay flat black with gloss black accents, took apart the doors and got the locks and window cranks working, then repainted and installed new carpeting on the doors. I cleaned and tuned the carb, set the timing to stock, changed the oil and flushed the coolant. I hate to sell this car but I bought a project car and don't have the room for it any more. It has a lot of new parts on it that I installed over the last 1000 miles including the following

- stainless steel headers
- exhaust with thush turbo mufflers
- window seals (both upper and lower)
- starter
- battery
- distributer
- spark plugs and wires
- rear tires
- chrome valve covers
- air cleaner
- both headlights

It has a hitch for towing and the bed is solid, no rust holes or thin spots. There are something's I didn't get around to doing that should be taken care of, The blower motor isn't working, the trans pan has a slight leak (a quart per month tops) I bought a new seal for it just havn't got around to installing it, will include with car. I pulled the old head liner out so it has no headliner. The rear quarters and floor pans would have to be repaired or replaced if u plan on restoring it, but other than the obvious rust on the outside, the under body is solid, frame, suspension and lines are all in great shape since it was a Florida car up until 10 years ago. The car gets driven 3-4 days of the week and is very reliable, the only time it let me down was when the starter went, which has since been replaced, would make a great work truck. I'm asking $2300 obo, I have more than that into it, you can call or text me at show contact info names Dan.
