Need Help with a Car

That car is far from excellent condition and is in worse condition than the one in his moms friends barn.

Definitely not excellent condition but it's in waaaayyyyy better shape than the barn car.  The barn car has nothing left of the rear wheel wells.

Please feel free to look up Stage1 on this forum.  He is an extremely knowledgable on engines from that era as he rebuilds and restores cars from that exact era for resale and display at car shows.  He's one of those rare folks who will bend over backward to help you on this.

Tony's journey to these pages started back in 1986 when he picked up the heavy Chevy for the meager sum of three hundred bucks. He was only 15 and ....."
