Yeah, I am excited about the gas savings I hope to get with teh 4cyl. Gonna miss that power fo the 3800 though. Sure beats the peddle power I have been using though.
Yup, can't beat the price.

Ahh the Iron Duke. Excellent engine. Loud and noisy like a diesel, but reliable as hell. Many of them go well past 200k.

That'* what I hear. I wish the body was in better shape, I may actually have a little fun wiht. I gues I'll see how strong a runner she is, then maybe I'll look into the body work.

Not a thing wrong with a running 89 Celebrity, the prettiest color is "paid off"

I am 6'3" MrsCrzy is 4'9" . We had a Cutlass with Bench seats, tilt wheel and neither of us had any problems driving that car. YMMV though

Couldnt tell ya about a bench to bucket swap, don't compromise on the attachment and seatbelts though. Sweetest find would be buckets from a Euro or something that would bolt directly in with no mods

Hmmmm...we'll have to see how it seems. Yeah, a direct bolt up would be best as I have never done this before and I don't want to do anything to complex.
Euro seats would be cool. If I end up doing any customizing, I did find a Euro grill on ebay.

That would be sweet, but for $300 I'd be happy with a lump of coal.
