Bought the car for $3,900.
It was an original /6 car that has been converted over to a 318.
My immediate project over the winter is getting the rust off the car and getting it primed.
I feel like i'm $10k in the whole and I haven't even started. :-D
Will post pictures tomorrow of the carnage from removing the vinyl top and the adhesive.
In the mean time here are my plans for the car.
Motor/drive train:
Leave the internals of the1975 150 horse 318 alone for the moment. If I find good heads i will slap them on but other then that I'm just going to slap the intake and carb on it and see what the turbo will do.
Looking at adding a Holset hx50/55 or a MP T70 turbo. Would use stock drivers manifold and run the exhaust from the drivers side underneath and up to the passengers side into a custom log manifold.
Have the Flange off the front of the passenger manifold and build a brace that mounts to the head to help support the weight of the turbo.
Friend is converting a carb so it will work for blow through.
Lots of other turbo supporting mods to add.
Add a posi with probably a 3.23 gears.
Suspension:
PST front sway bar kit.
upgrade the v6 torsion bars to .88 bars.
Edelbrock shocks
power brake booster
Interior:
Bucket seats and rear bench seat
new carpet
new headliner
new dash pad
Radio - I only have the AM radio in it now.
Body/chassis:
twin hood scoops
rims and tires
Minitub
media blast
Paint and undercoat with por 15.
Few rust issues.
In general its pretty clean under neath.
