i bought this carcass for 900 bucks in 2007 and am trying to make a decent driver as cheaply as possible using all my spare parts and it looks like it should be drivable soon only real money i spent so far is on the 065 rad,893 oilpan and exhaust manifolds.

Looks like it will be a cool project, I have owned a dozen 69 383 GTS's and still have the 4-speed car I bought 33 years ago! Let me know if you need parts or advice!


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

hours wise i would say around 250 so far,but i started on it almost 2 years ago,i work on it when i feel like so as not to get burnt out,its a shame how bad this car got with an owner who knew what it was if i didnt come along he was going to strip out the 83/4 and sell the numbers.
