Default Farewell Trans Am

I got in a low speed front end collision Sunday morning. It still destroyed my bumper, hood, driver's side fender, and driver's side headlight assembly. I also need a new radiator. It was enough to get me a check for $3800, so I will be selling the Trans Am as is and taking the check. I'm asking $2000 and I have a buyer already who pretty much just wants the motor and transmission.

I'm pretty much set on this '62 Nova I looked at yesterday. Built motor, heads & cam, true duals, and a stall. It probably puts down about 370 at the wheels, but it will put down more like 440 when I'm done swapping the cam/intake/carb setup. If I buy it I will post pictures.
