I won't even call about anything if someone cant type with standard English language. I called about a 80's Monte SS last week and it was what sounded like a gang banger and he was so trashed that he couldn't hardly speak. Needless to say, I didn't go look at it.

He may be an illiterate hick but aside from the terrible spelling and lack of punctuation, the dummy didn't actually intend to call it a "GTO Skylark".
Had to get that off my chest.

Now that I look at it more closely, there is only two misspelled words and one is probably just a typo. His main problem is run-on sentences and failure to space words.
"350 Rocket" May have originated from a 76-77 442, and he thinks it's a big block. Hence, he calls it a "442 BIGBLOCK". So it was rescued out of a 1969 GTO. Not all that far fetched.

That's actually a decent deal, if it is mechanically sound.
You can always re-install a stock front facia, and change the wheels after you're done waisting the tires.

I was trying to figure out what they even used to do that. It can't cool very well with the grilles covered up like that. Poor poor car.
