    i own a rotting skeleton of a canadian 1970 2 dr (probably not much use to anyone) free to any who can pull it out of the dirt. pm for detail.i wouldn't recomend this as a project unless you have almost unlimited resources.
    good luck with the hunt, think i remember a few posts about posible starter cars.

    The factory power brake set up was the same and available on both 6 cyl and V8 cars. You can only use an automatic with the factory set up.
