I live on 1/4 acre, so things are cramped. Plan is to flip it for a profit. But, if I start working on it and no one buys it... guess I will keep it. :shrug

It's a 307/PG car, so it's a toss up between keeping the PG and tossing in a low mile 454 I have - dressed as a 350 HP L34 396. Or, adding a third pedal - installing a spare M20. And then throwing the crank out of the 307 in a spare 350 block... see where I am heading? L79 327/4 speed. :drive

I still have tunnel vision as far as getting my 72 finished. So this one would have to wait. But, I already have plenty of spare parts to make it happen.

Well... no one bought it. Tons of "wishbones." I took it off of the market a few months ago. Been welding and patching. Going to do a pro touring style build and sell it. Already have most of the drivetrain... rebuilt 03 LQ4 6 liter with cam & valvetrain upgrades, 86k mile 05 4L80E and 3500 stall, fresh 3.73 posi 12 bolt rear, stainless swap headers, engine mounts, aluminum radiator. Paint & interior colors yet to be determined... thought about doing it factory colors. (Butternut yellow and ivy gold) But, the online peanut gallery seems to think I will be stuck with the car if I do that.
