 We picked up this car needing some love to be used as a drag car for my wife. After getting it home and starting work on it we decided to just make a it a cruzier for now. Its a neat old car most all of the work was done by the previous owner some good most not so good. It has I think a 76or7 nova front end grafted into the factory frame with disc brakes. Engine is a 305 chevy with a th350 trans backing it up sending power to a 8.5 chevy rear end with a unknown gear ratio. The car runs prety darn good for a 305.
