This is a good car to project on. The car is very solid, with only very minor surface rust in one or two areas around back windshield. New windshield in front. THe car is running and drivable, though the front-end needs aligned and maybe a new power steering pump. Trunk is solid as well as floor boards, back quarter pannels, front fenders, radiator cradle, etc. Good car to start on. Interior is not very great, but this is a project and not a show car. It has the 400 pontiac engine and does not smoke or knock/ping; runs great. The only reason im not fixing it myself is because i have a 77 bandit edition that im trying to fix. I like the 77s more than i do this model, and I want a t-top car (this one is hard top). I bought this to fix mine with, but it's too solid to strip down and junk. I found another body to fix mine with so im trying to get my money back out of this car. I can be reached at 1-423-496-6453 most anytime on the weekend and of the evening through the week. If you have any further questions please call and ask. I must get rid of this car to have the $$ to fix my other one with. The price is pretty firm, but if the highest bidder is close I'll probably sell it. tennessee
