That be the car. He was going to resto-mod it, but after getting it home he decided it's too nice a car to cut up so he thought he'd give a restorers a shot before chopping it up.

Question & Answer Answered On
Q: If I was to buy this car, would it work better with a Keisler 5 speed or a Classic chevy 5 speed? Aug-16-08
A: Since I was planning to use it to tow my Big block Rambler station wagon convertible to shows I was going to use a Duramax diesel and an Allison 6spd. out of a Chevy truck. Given the price of gas these days you may want to consider a Prius hybrid drivetrain or a 10 speed flux capacitor to save fuel.
Q: Is the motor matching numbers? And does it come with a warranty ? Aug-15-08
A: I have good news and bad news. Yes the engine numbers match perfectly and have beautiful broach marks. Unfortunately they match a '68 Camaro. It has a bumper to bumper 100K mile 50 year White Line warranty. ie the warranty ends when the front bumper crosses the white line leaving my driveway. It also has factory NAV. and Onstar in your head. It is also equipped with Armstrong power steering and 4 seasons 2/50 climate control. Thanks for your interest.
