Nice looking ride. When I was a kid my parents had a 71, but it was a 4 door. My sister and her boyfriend took it and somehow the enging blew up. Her boyfriend wasn't screwing around though....yeah right.

Any before restoration pics? Great job on it! I love the late 60's, early 70's GM's.

I have some before pictures will get them on tonite, The car is pretty much the way I got it. The body and interior have not been touched I've only been working on the engine and under the car, Spent the winter working on it. took everything out of the engine compartment and replaced all hardware, hoses and whatever I found needing replacement. Replaced lifters pushrods and rockers sandblasted the intake and repainted all the brakets and pulleys, New alternator radiator battery added pertronix igniter distributor new sparkplug wires and finished it off with a Magnaflow exhaust system.

I like the color as well with a vehicle like that you are always better off having the color as original looking as possible
Sweet ride.
