That's the one. I knew what I was getting into before I pulled the trigger on it. It's surprising how much of the car is original, at some point in its life someone cared for it. The engine was a gamble, but luckily the head is good. IP was junk, but fortunately that was taken care of thanks to another member of this forum. Body is straight and rust-free. Has a few hail whacks, that'll get taken care of eventually when I get the hood repainted.
It'll be an interesting ride fixing it up. It has a lot of potential, just needs a lot of elbow grease and TLC to get it there.
