Plans are to do a little maintenance, cage it , gauge it and boost it.

sick, I like it more without bumpers

looks nice dude, lots of love for the bunnies.

is that car originally from Il? the body is in great shape.

Yeah bumpers FTL. Not to mention mucho room for a big FMIC.


The previous owner actually bought it from St. Louis , Missouri. So its a pure northern car, I'm really suprised how together it still is. Theres a few little spots of rust here and there but nothing bad, just gonna POR-15 the small stuff and not worry about it.

Nice find.. That bunny will run forever but at the same time give u lots of headaches :)

Nice find Ark. My fam had one of those way back in the day.

soooooo hot nice find.
