    Found this one near my home town. Actually, my wife saw it and she told me I had to go take a look at it. WHAT A WIFE right! My wife earned major points with this one. The car itself is a '70. I was told it has a '72 stright six out of a Granada. Runs pretty good, drove it home. The under carrage is fair, good floors, not so good tourqe boxes. I think some one has repaird the floors at some point. The young man i bought it from did the paint, he said its his first paint job. Its a damn good job for a first. The car was originally green, black and white plaid interior. Well, y-all take care.:drive:
