well the drive was about a mile! i know not much but the guy was driving it around the block every once in awhile, he put new tires on it , the brakes leak down so cant drive it far right now, well if i told ya the price yall would think i was stupid, ,, plans? well i think i aint going to do nothing to it just fit whats needed and drive it, i let it seyt and run man its smooth, never owned a straight 8, it sounds cool when ya rev it up! rides and drives smooth too! need the seats fixed , but everything it there! but they need covering, needs a little glass ! but still able too roll windows up and down!!! radio comes on , dash lights work, gas tank is out but i have it he had been driving it on a gas jug, already got the stuff to fix the brakes! needs a headlight switch, just a bunch of little stuff, but i believe it will be going to the car show this weekend!

Nice score Rev Tex. I can tell you one thing, if you ever pull that Pontiac straight eight out of there, make sure your equipment is good. I pulled one with the tranny attached and it was the heaviest dang hulk I've ever dealt with. It snapped my chain.

It sure looks like a good car to drive and enjoy while tinkering with.

Those cars are cool just diving 'em like they are. I'ld like to have one just like it. Call me if you want to sell that one one day. Love it.

I think it would be cool to have one with a bullet hole , but not if it's falling apart. Cooler that those bullet hole stickers !! I replaced my windshield set on my Chev with a used set for about half the price as new. One is a little bad at the bottom, but was alot better than the old one, plus replaced rubber gasket.
