True, the car is rough but if it's a true big block 4sp car it's a potential diamond. I bought a 68 318 auto cuda & cloned it to a 383 4sp w/ disc brakes. You need patients & time but that thing will be worth serious . At a car show I was offered 20k for mine and the guy knew it was cloned. I changed out the "K" member installed front & rear sway bars , frame links& other goodies. Very rewarding cruiser.
