I originally bought this car 10 years ago with a frozen up small block and a t 10 four speed. Was originally going to part it out but because of what it was I decided to keep it and I put a 409 and redid all the mechanics and drive it for a bit until a guy offered me some money for it minus the motor and I sold it. I have regretted it ever since, then 3 weeks ago I got a call saying car is for sale due to health issues so she's home again after a 3 year disappearance and is now getting a 283 and t 10. The dumb ass took a lot of things apart but I hope to have her in the road again soon as a play around car that I occasionally drive to work. Oh yah he also threw away the trunk lid due to some rust issues before finding another one. Like I said DUMBASS
You were Very Lucky, your car came back home.
