i took it in trade mid 2012 and the owner drove the car out to me from san clemente to corona in friday gridlock, in the dead of summer. no easy feat if you are familiar with the area. lots of distance with sporadic highway speed / stop and go traffic.

272 Y Block with column shifted 3spd - the car runs very strong and sounds great (straight pipes)

gauges, switches, radio and clock are there and light up but needles on speedo do not work (indicators work) - the non factory gauges for voltage , water temp etc do function

lights function as well as turn signals

body presents well but could use finish work, still wavy in some spots. the semigloss/matte paint is still a tad too shiney for me and i was going to knock down it down with some fine grit sandpaper, this would prob also help conceal some of the amateur-ish bodywork. worked fine for the girls i used to go out with.

chop done by previous owner and appears to be done well. no additional structural welding needed as far as i can tell.

lowered on what i believe to be cut front springs and lowering blocks in rear. Rides surprisingly well.
