My son wanted an old car, like Christine (he liked the movie). In regard to that I thought an older car would be a great chance for my son and I to work on something together. Around that same time my wife found our car on Craigslist. $1,500 later it was parked in our driveway.

It is currently driveable and is registered. We are working on getting everything (probably everything) done to it. It is running a 289/2V and starts every time but it has an oil leak and I think the carb leaks. The suspension is tired, the brakes need to be done. The carpet is shot but the seats and roof liner are decent. There is no heat and the glove box's box is MIA. We have three out of four hubcaps and are down a tail light assembly. We have replaced the back bumper but the replacement was so bad I had to take a wire wheel to the rust and ended up painting it. But it runs and stops and shifts. It's a keeper.

Again, nada. It is running a stock 289, 2 barrel with factory exhaust.

Nada.

Back bumper had to be replaced due to an old accident. new(er) bumper was in bad shape and needed sanding and painting (I cant afford a new one yet) so it is black.

Shooting for chrome 5 spoke rims in the future.....

Nada, rocking the stock, working AM radio.

Sad and sagging. Is high on the list of getting fixed.

Stock whitewalls with FoMoCo hubcaps though one is MIA. Looking to upgrade to chrome 5 spoke.
