Cool cars. I'd never own one, but I do enjoy looking at them. I can't get over the 80s interiors, on just about any car built in the 80s. haha

They're not quite as bad as a lot of those 80's interiors. I already know exactly where I'm going to place the Kleenex box.

You are building a nice collection of underrated GM cars. Ever thought of buying a cyclone or typhoon?

Yeah. I always liked those trucks, but I doubt I'd buy one. There are too many other cars I'd like to have over a Sy/Ty.

I wouldn't mind building an LSX powered 29-32 Ford Coupe.

Nice find! Did the previous owner have any dyno #'s on the setup? What's your next move with it?

What kind of gear and suspension are under the car? You think mid to low 11's with slicks?

No dyno numbers as of yet.

Rear is a stock girdled 10.5" posi with 3.42 gear and the rear suspension consists of HRpartsNstuff Super Sway Bar and adjustable upper and lower control arms.
