I liked your old Elco, but damn! This one is way cooler!

What's under the hood?

 

[yevgenievich]

It is mostly stock. Guessing 307 but might be a 350 motor. Nice 454 badge and a failing th350 or th250 transmission(actually rattles and whines when in gear and a big delay going in to reverse). Headlight wiring has issues, oil leaks, broken window regulator, numerous missing trim pieces.
But did make it 70 miles home. Well, somewhat home, I did not have space in my drive way at the moment.

Ohhh I like it.
I am sure you will have it torn all apart and in better shape in no time.

Looks good.
How many cars do you have?

I have sold some recently.
Turned out window regulator is fine, but vent window regulator is broken so ordered a new one. Fixed the door open button and then found that it came with new door handles. Motor has been decked before, so still not 100% if it is 307 or 350.
Also trans pump makes rattle noise under load.
Most of the car appears to have been silver, driver side door is different and front sheet metal used to be green.

It had a scrape on rear quarter that pushed the taillight out. Took it out and bent the mounting bracket back for it to mount correctly. Floors behind the seat are made of rust, so have to make something work there. Ordered 3 point seat belts for it as well.

Does the front or rear glass leak?

Front not too bad. The floor rust is from the leaking rear window.
