72 demon 340 resto

72 DEMON 340 auto, 3.23. originally GY4 gold(yellow). black bucket interior with console. power steering, 4 wheel drums. 54,000 original miles and has been off the road since 1981. the year i was born, lol. someone put fenderwell headers, X heads, aftermarket intake and carb, and 4.56 gears in it. it had a blue paint job on it at one time.it sat in a wet storage building for a long time.
i couldn t figure out why someone would do all this work to it within 9 years and just park it. til i got it home. it started to make sense. the guy i got it from said the original owner parked it cause he said it was too fast for him.
when i got it home i noticed a small crack in the mud on the lower front passenger quarter. so naturally i took a sharp chisel and whacked it. a chunk of filler popped out over an inch thick. when i stripped the quarter i noticed that it was mashed from the striker post to the center of the wheel lip.
so maybe the guy wasn t lying. maybe it got away from him.
