I had to lighten the picture to see if the Hurst shifter(s) were still inside it. Just parts or pieces of those bring big crazy $$$ money on Ebay. Wish I had a few to sell off.

I'd drop in a decent engine and drive it as-is. I've always liked them.

I have a 1970 455 sitting in my garage that would just plop right into that.

why would you do that. if someone buys this that is a DIY type body man there is money to be made. a decent paint job and a drivers seat and a good detail this car would bring 6k as long as its kept original. i know its only a 307 with a 180hp but it sounds good and pulls good

I don't like cars that have been repainted. I prefer patina over perfection.

I'd put in a decent driver's seat, though...

I only need to wait 18 more months or so...then I can snap up one of these awesome deals.

Just got an initial estimate on building our dream house on the land we bought a year ago this spring...the numbers look good. Gotta save for about another year, then I get my 3 car garage with 10 foot ceilings and a workshop loft up above.

Save for 12 more months to get a good down payment, spit polish the credit, 6 months to build and move in, sell old house for a teensy profit...

then, its project car time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!

muhahahahahahaaaa!!!!!!

If you were going to do an engine swap, why not just start with a standard Gutlass?

A quick Craigslist search reveals that these are a lot harder to find than I had suspected.

My best friend in highschool's mother had a very standard Regal that we spent a lot of time driving and pretending it was a Hurst/Olds or GNX.

On a related note, my uncle has a similar vintage 442 that's just sort of parked next to his house doing nothing. I know that they didn't get the Lightning Rods, but are the 442s worth anything?
