Nice.

Does it have an engine and tranny? Does it run?

Hows the interior?

It has a motor and tranny. The trans is supposed to be good, but the motor needed rings in it. I'm going to build it to 350 to 400 horse anyways so I wasnt worried about that. The interior was rough so I took it all out and i'm going to replace lots of stuff.

Looks pretty darn straight. Nice to start with a solid straight car.

Yeah, it's all completely straight and solid except for a minor crease in the hood where somebody pulled down on it too hard. It needs a passenger's side floorpan, and a trunk pan.
Other than that its good to go
