This car was originally an automatic 4 banger, blue interior and blue exterior. The car was complete just a few months ago. I've since started a 347 build for it and sold the 306. I've done tons of repair to this car. Took it down to a shell and literally rebuilt everything from the floorboards up. I bought it as my first car and drove it through high school. I've owned it for 7 years. Started the restoration in June of 2007. I wish I had more detailed pics but I never really took any.
