Somebody before me spent lots of money on the suspension on this car, new bushing, brakes, exhaust for the 350 motor (new). This is a drivable car the way it sits, runs straight down the road and stops well. My intent was to pull this car down, repaint it the proper copper color, L88 hood, black motion stripe, and build a really nice street mauler out of it with the LS-6 motor and hooker side exhaust. Again, this car has HUGE potential. I have traced ownership on this car back to the second owner and I have his name and phone number.
