the car is a 78 cutlass with only 28,000 miles on the body from geogia.has a 71 455 supposed to be stroked out but i havent found any stroker kits online so he probably lied.picked it up in southern indiana few days ago for 1200 bucks and took strait to my buddys body shop to paint it.next is new carpet and to get rid of the racing bucket seats in it

I agree the seats gotta go. I like the hood though. Keep us posted on your interior and exterior makeover
