About

Bought the car Aug. 5th 2008 in KC Missouri
had to replace the fuel pump, distributor, and head gasket to get it running again.
Replaced many worn out parts


Done a few mods so far, still more planned for the future if I don't have to sell the car first..






Next plans are changing out the suspension and exhaust system, could use some improvment.

So far so good considering I just bought it 2 months ago.
