That would be tempting as it is a post car.
I can only imagine what it really looks like.

Hell if it runs and drives, I'd be in at $1800. That's a whole lot of fun for that kinda money. Like you said, we've seen much much worse.

I am a tight ass when it comes to cars.

Me too... That's why I drive junk.

No way. Dual set up is added, three on the tree not floor. Could be made into a really cool nostalgia Poncho.

You could do some creative ordering through Pontiac if you knew the proper channels.

That is out of an RV. The trans is unusable unless you change out the tail/main-shaft to loose the brake.
Not a bad deal actually. We used to pull the motors from the RV's being scraped out at the salvage yard. They are really heavy duty offerings. Small valve torque monsters.

Damn good core for rebuilding at that price. Stuff is not being made anymore, well unless you got to an aftermarket block.

Yup....the tach is a dead give away.

Merlin makes a great after market block that is stronger than the factory piece.

It has spent it's fair share of time at the top of the RPM band.......If it was mine it for sure would have.

Not that it is not fairly priced just that it has a fuse. How much has been burned is the question.
