That car will NEVER pass with holes on (thru?) the underside... NEVER...in PA, that is.

I guess I could advertise for sale in OHIO publications...

Everyone I know of thinks the rust IS the biggest problem...a SAFETY problem...it HAS to be done...if this guy doesn't do it....then it looks like I'll be taking a welding class...(or convincing Paul to take the class!)

I KNOW...I have a bad engine..a bad body...and most parts in between are BAD...there are only a HANDFUL of things on this car that are OK....I realize the car should be DUMPED....

..but it's THIS car or NO car...

..and to think that I sold a 73 280 for 500bucks, that didnt need half of what Christy's car needs. yeah, it had a little rust.. about the size of your palm...and the carb needed rebuilding.. and the interior needed help.. but that was about the worst. After reading all of this, I think I would have given it to you.
Good Luck!

-Larry
