This is a nice little cream puff I picked up a while back. I figure the 215 six was a key ingredient in how it remained in such good shape all these years. Plus the fact is was originally Desert Beige before it got painted its present color.

It's pretty solid with the exception of some mud behind the wheels in the quarters, but that's the way it's gonna stay for a while because this one's going to be a driver. No worrying about chips or dings on this ride - the plan is to do some tours of the power type and play around doing some AX.

Here's how she looked the day she arrived. Always interesting to get a good look underneath when you buy something sight unseen. I try not to make a habit of doing that, but the price she was too good for me to pass up. These older A bodies in halfway decent shape command nice bucks these days.










Anyway, the plan is to upgrade the suspension and drivetrain, no time out for paint and body work - get her back on the road.

I've been looking around at 455's, but I'm thinking of trying something lighter like a turbo V6. Not much luck on either front yet.

Have you thought about going 400 with possibly a stroker?

I've been checking out anything Poncho that's in a reasonable distance and price. Lots of people fishing for stupid money.
