I finally got the car running last friday. Now I just need to work on the brakes and get some new tires and I should be able to go for a test drive. I also discovered it has a GB30 engine in it. The last owner must have found a deluxe model in the past.

Very nice. Hopefully the car is not rotted out as it will be ultra-difficult to get replacement panels.

Keep us posted on the updates.

The car is in pretty good shape, does not hardly have any rot just surface rust. The interior is not great but I have got the head lights and brake lights all working. It would be impossible to find panels. I believe I am the third owner. The first owner must have found a parts car because it came with a crazy assortment of parts.

Good deal. Wiring harnesses can be rebuilt. Gauges and such can be restored. Rebuilding fender patches from scratch would be a pain.

Welcome to NICO, BTW.

You're in luck. 13s are almost impossible to find around here. 14s shouldn't be a problem.

Here is the newest pick of the car. I had it running and I took the gas tank to radiator place to boil it out. It looks like I need a new electric fuel pump. I have not worked on the project in a while
