2nd owner went to Highschool with a good buddy of mine
Handed him $6k and drove it home.
I plan to sell the 455 and the "fresh built" Th350 trans for at least $2k when I pull it.

the new floor is very nice, good job on the rust work - is there a reason you left a hole in there? that will amount to quite a bit of road noise

Nice car OP . I’d install a 4 speed automatic though . Going from a 2.48 first to a 3.06 is a big jump, and you’ll be ripping the tires off with ease , plus you’ll have an OD . Best of both worlds , and I was going to install one in my TransAm if I kept it .
But I don’t know what your rear diff gears are . A 3.42 would be a decent ratio with the 4L80E

There are 2 others (72 Skylarks) for sale in the near area, both NOT running with the 350, waaaaay worse rust and horrible interiors and they're both around $6k
Couple people selling Chevelle's.....some literally just the body/frame with nothing else for $10k+

I'm not sure what gear is in the rear either, but I can do 45 in 1st and only be at like 3800 rpms. From what I've read its probably a 2.48 or like a 2.56 or something low like that. A LSD and a higher gear are definitely in its future. It's got gobs of torque but that long gear isnt helping in the acceleration department.

Accidentally bought these yesterday. Had to get something really quickly on Amazon and forgot that I already had these in my cart......well they should be here next week. lulz
The cars got Hooker Long Tube Headers to 2.5" true duals to (what I think) are Flowmaster 40's (maybe 44's) right now........the mufflers I just bought are single chamber, equivalent to Flowmaster 10's......she's about to get a little louder.

The cars got (from the sound of it) a mild cam and once warmed up has a decent lope but vacuum drops so maybe it doesn't have a cam and I just have the idle adjusted too low. lol
Here's what backing out of the driveway looks like, since I've been lazy with cleaning up the never ending pine-straw droppagae.

When I start the car up in the garage, pics on wall shake......and our neighbors 4 houses down text me to let me know they can hear me working on the car (in a nice way)
It makes me happy.

the body (paint) just needs work, it seems like you plastidipped the hood but the spots show through unfortunately
a car like this would like very nice when it is super duper polished and the paint looks factory new
maybe a bordeaux? but i get it, fixing paint etc is very expensive unfortunately

Once the suspension/rims/tires are done, this thing is going to be a thrasher/strip/drift mobile that I don't want to feel badly about driving the fuk out of and I'm not real worried about making it look nice.
And yea...no B Pillar.....hence the Roll Cage in the near future. lol....I'm starting to think the door panels are going to come out and Im even thinking of the taking the new carpet back out and going full racecar mode. It's not a numbers matching car and it's one of the "less desirable" A-Body lines and I'm sure I could sell it today and make money so.....that's where Im at currently.

Made the hour drive yesterday to pick up some goodies. Now I just have to find the time to install them.
I basically had a day to myself while the wife was running errands and taking care of some stuff with her parents.
I was originally wanting to get a full suspension kit but the 2 that I had in mind were on backorder till May, so the very knowledgeable and patient people at Summit helped me piece together a kit based off of what they had in stock. It was a great day.....I legit had butterflies when I pulled into the parking lot.
-BMR 1" Lowering Springs, front & Rear
-KYB adjustable shocks, front & Rear
-2.5" X-Pipe kit, to go with the Single Chamber mufflers I bought a while back.
-1" Rear Sway Bar kit
-1-5/16" Front Sway Bar Kit (ships out Monday)
-Polyurethane bushings
-Mini Spool kit
When I got to the Cashier (after putting the order together) She says "oh wow, you've got a big order.....lets see if we can help you out" and proceeded to give me 10% off and a $50 coupon....and the Guy that helped me build the order was an old racer who was telling me stories about the cars he'd raced over the years.
The whole experience was just as awesome as I could have asked for.

I've always thought if I had just excessive cash and time to spare, it would be really neat to shove a Honda B18 into a Mustang. Longitudinally mount the engine, get the oil pan sorted out, trans adapter, etc... It would be insanely impractical, but it'd be really neat for like a 1st -> 3rd gen Mustang to pop the hood and there's a Honda 4 banger looking back at you lol. Obviously throw a turbo on it so it still moves quick.i'd take a muscle car and put a 2jz in it ded fkn srs, just put two opposites together

I hate those big ass steering wheels, I could never have an old school original build muscle car with something that big to drive it. I'm in an A45 AMG right now and that wheel feels a little too big.

70k miles (6 digit odometer)
I'm the 3rd owner
2nd owner had it for 4 months...decided he had too many projects....and he does....dude had 5 other muscle cars/trucks apart in his shop.
2nd owner went to Highschool with a good buddy of mine
Handed him $6k and drove it home.
I plan to sell the 455 and the "fresh built" Th350 trans for at least $2k when I pull it.

How would you suggest I go about buying a classic?
