    to be honest. its to far gone to save and be cost effective,
    To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

    Could be a cool car with some love. The color is not great and the body is far from good, but it could be fun.

    Depending on your plans for the car, it could be a ton of work or it could be a really easy build.

    If you want a black interior, red paint with black stripes/no rust then you are in for some work

    Not looking to restore at all. Just get it driving on its own safely Brakes, wheels/tires, change all fluids, check valve springs, Oil pressure, rebuild carb, cap, rotor, wires, etc.... and stop the rear window leak (if possible)

    Have not heard it run yet, but it does have Hooker headers, true dual exhaust with Flowmasters already on it... Haha

    Lower it 6 inches? Wow... that would be low for this car!

    IMO it's both cool and savable. Hell I'd buy it if the price was right.

    I think your on the right track, make it run and drive. I dig the look of it.

    Sweet. I've got a sweet spot for this era/style of cars. First "muscle" car I ever drove was my dad's 72' Chevelle when I was a kid and that started the obsession.

    I think its cool as hell. put some good exhaust on it with some bullets, maybe even like a single 4 inch. buy a good converter for it, clean it up make it safe and youll have ALOT of fun in it.

    "beater" cars like that, that make enough power to spin the tires, and that sound cool are tons of fun. you can drive it/park it anywhere walk away from it and not worry.

    get the carb and timing dialed in, and the right converter can make anything feel fast from stoplight to stoplight.
