http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m126/wheelbarrowsgarage/MVC-003S.jpgGot some pictures of my new basket case. I have known about this thing for like 5 years and just keep no doing anything about it. Finally decided I had to have it. Its a 70 possibly an SS and has nothing but front upper control arms! Been sitting like a beached whale ever since I found it. Gave the guy a bill and today I jacked and blocked it up. Hoping later in the week to go roll a trailer under it and drag it home. Anybody got a good set of quarters cheap???http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m126/wheelbarrowsgarage/MVC-001S.jpg

thats going to be a great project! does it have round or sweep gauges in it? I bet if you post here you maybe able to find alot of what you need cheap, suspension parts wise. Heck just get it rolling and toss a big block in it. Jim

A planter! Heck no I wanna drive this thing! Besides I haven't got a wife so theres not any explainin to do:0 Its far from straight but I didn't give hardly anything for it so I guess I can spend some coin for all the parts. There are 2 SS dashes laying in it but not sure if they were ever actually in there, no seat, trashed headliner. Door panels are there but??? Needs floors etc etc etc....

I bought pretty much the same thing as you back in 1989. Looked like a parts car. I dragged it home and it sat by my garage for 10 more years. It just rolled out of the Body shop this week. Mines a 71 SS 454.
