Need some purchasing advice

You left out a lot of info on that car that could help us advise you. It's been converted to big bolt pattern wheels with disc brakes in the front and it SAYS an 8 3/4 with a 489 sure grip with 3.91 gears. I'd find out HOW that was converted to the big bolt pattern, as the A body 8 3/4 never came with the big bolt pattern. A few ways to do it, so it's entirely possible. Hard to tell without seeing it in person. Have you inspected it yet? Car's on Marketplace in the Dalton area. It might be worth it, but as usual, an astute buyer will want to get it at as good a deal as possible. Looks pretty good from all the pictures, though.

EDIT! My bad. All your text didn't show up for me at first. I see you did include all that info. It's worth going to look at.


Yes, I got to go look at it. BUT then I had to drive down to FL to help take care of my dad in the hospital. Longest week ever in ICU and then some recovery. I just talked to my wife to make sure she wouldn't shut me down because you know money just starts flying out the window once we buy something like that. I should have bought the 69 barracuda that I saw a few years ago that was pretty much completely done and was only 12K. I'd been money ahead, but I couldn't live with a barracuda painted a chevy grey color.
