The link above is a few weeks ago when i talked to the owner and he told me he'd sell it for 3k... last week I showd up and brought 2200.00 in cash and eventually towed it home! Its a 1970 chevelle last registered in 2000 350 with 350 tranny said to run when parked, included complete front end stored in shed plus many other misc parts.

My thoughts as of now are to disassemble, detail, remove/replace and redo as needed.

buy and intall;
-LS1 from GTO motor, auto tranny, ecu, etc.
-Chrome with black or dark gray 18" wheels.
-maybe these seats http://i37.tinypic.com/2zhdws2.jpg
-Paint it a dark metallic gray/silver with black stripes.

It already has hotchkis suspension components front and rear, 4 wheel wilwood disc brakes, Moser 12 bolt rearend. body is very solid and interior is pretty nice considering.

I would like to hear comments and experience's on doing the LS1 GTO swap? addition parts needed? mods required to make it work? etc.
I was told the factory master cyclinder will not work with the brake set-up?
I am knowledgible or mechaniclly inclined and have a small group of know-it-alls... but honestly feel that I can get her done:D any suggestion and help will be appriciated! Thanks

Nice buy...I hope that front end was covered up though since it was sitting outside...especially with that suspension set up.
