Story: In 2000, I was looking for a g-body car to re-do so that I would have something to cruise in and occasionally take to the track. I found such a car in Indiana. Ron the current owner of the car had inherited it from his father in law, who purchased the car new. The interior was in bad shape, but the exterior paint was awesome. I bought the car and drove it home. First thing that was completed was the building of the engine and the re-build of the transmission. Once complete, we (my wife and I) gutted the interior. We installed new carpet, repaired the interior panels, and recovered the seats.

The car ran a best time of 13.28 in the quarter, but spends most of its time cruising around town. I have every receipt and every time slip.
