I have a lot of beater cars, but they'll get fixed up eventually!

Needs a lot of work, but not bad at all. You going to restore it?

Looks in very good shape for a beater. And I remember the PowerGlide 2 speed trannys well. They were a favorite of street racers long ago. Coupled to the right differential gears, they were street demons.

I'm planning on restoring her. Starting with the interior. That'* the worst part of the car. Then a motor/tranny rebuild and body work. Sweet paint job and the list goes on.....

Yes, it still runs and drives quite well. I can squeal tires for half a block on dry pavement

Main things she needs is an electronic ignition, new Edelbrock intake, and a 4 barrel carb. It'* running a 2bbl right now. Very restrictive!
