Yep, it's worth the road trip. Take a camera!

If you go, try to get a photo of the cowl tag.

   Heres the email I got back.


i can take some more pics tomorrow, paint you can tell from the pics is about 15-20 years old, few years back when taking the car cover off there was ice between the cover and car and peeled alot of the clear coat off of it, tried fixing it up a bit but its in need of re-paint. on the passenger side there is a crack in the bondo on the top of the quarter, never peeled it off but should be just some surface rust behind it. options are power steering,brakes, console shift, bucket seats, turbo 400 trans with 2000 stall converter, 12 bolt rearend with 3.07 gearing. have new carpet for it, front seats need to be redone, dash is in good condition (took me a year and over 500 bucks to find a dash and get it fixed up, pretty hard to find) drum brakes all around 14 inch rims up front- 15's in back. also needs door panels. alot of interior stuff interchanges with impala stuff- seats, door panels, console. anything else shoot me an email, thanks.

 He sent some pics as I didn't make the trip to have a look today.

Yup,bucket seats and Big Block,what are the colours? Cool car !!

just found this cool site, thats my car! its been in my family since the early 70's, my grandpa had it, gave it to my uncle, then a few years ago my dad bought it hoping i would restore it someday. it is an original 427 right? wasnt 100% sure, thats what my uncle always said it a 427 but it blew so he put a 454 in it. its got a ring around the driveshaft close to the trans (think thats called a steady shaft) to handle the torque the motor made. paint has really gone downhill in the last few years, would like to see it go to someone who will restore it. any questions just ask.
