I bought this car about a year ago and am making a few modifications to the engine and transmission. Had a 200 straight six, now has a bored 302, 4 barrel holly carb, and quick shift tran.

Sorry about the dirt in the car! This was taken before her three day scrub down.

As you can see, the interior is in kick ass condition.

This is the original straight six that was in the car before I put in the 302.

This is the Wolf racing suspension that came with the car. Its pretty descent.

This is what it's like through my eyes driving the beast. It ain't movin though. Thought it might be dangerous doing this on the highway at 120 mph!

Finally, These are my little gauges that tell me how my baby is runnin'.
