That's what I was thinking. If the price is right, it's still a good scavange.

What I want to see is the data plate. It looks kinda like 2-tone with painted top. Although the car looks too trashed to restore, it would be something different to bomb around in.

If they think it's an 'original' 455, there's no telling what it is. One thing's for sure...they don't know.

I remember years ago when I had my first trans am in 1987 ( 1978 T/A) A friend who was 10 years my senior was telling me I needed to find a 428 to replace that 400 engine & have some fun. I thought he was kidding as I had never heard of a 428 at the time. Pretty much a 67-68 big car engine & I wasn't really into those cars or the nostalgia of the pontiacs at the time. He sadely passed away a few years back & I always think of him now if I hear about a 428.

You very rarely see these cars, let alone two at the same location!

Looks like shiny new rust on everything too. Too bad It's a big block. Won't fit in most cars......

I don't know what is more sad, the Speed racer trans, or the 65 GTO Clown Car, here is a direct link to the clown car.
