Nice car I have a few of them myself. Had a 71 hardtop with a small block olds 350 for my oldest son to drive through high school. And I currently have a 1970 2 door post car with a factory 4-speed and numbers matching 455 that I am restoring. Also had a 1969 with a 455 that was built for all out drag racing. Very fun cars to drive.

John..

Hey thats a nice car... I have one which is almost identical. It was my uncles who passed away, and now it belongs to my grandparents, but I keep it running/looking good while it sits in my garage. Too bad they want to sell it. Its in perfect condition, inside and out, with just a few minor paint dings. The thing is a beast... 71 442 Convertible, with a 455 BB.

To reply to beastie....... They don't usually have as much power. Old cars and new ones have totally different feels to them. You can mod an old car cheap,quick and get lots of power out of the engines though.
