    Hey all,

    Continuing to look for the "right" project for my son and me. Anybody in the Fort Collins area that would be interested in checking out a car? It has some rust issues on the lower fenders, but engine bay looks pretty clean, no pics of the floor pans. This fella got it for some type of trade or "payment", added an Edelbrock intake and 4 barrel carb, but hasn't done more than drive around the block. He still has the original 2 barrel carb and intake, indicates he has $500 in the new carb/intake set up. He's going to check the front brakes for me to see if they are disc or drum. All comments welcome.

    The MT Stallion previously posted about is in KC, which would be much closer, but it appears to be a true barn find (still has debris all over the top of the motor). Missing guage cluster and looks to be a little rougher to me, though they shouldn't be hiding much, still shows the original paint. Engine bay showing some rust concerns.

    Not ignoring this site, just believe my son will prefer a V-8 down the road and the swap doesn't look real clean. I would probably prefer beefing up a straight 6, but I'm not a teenager anymore either :).

    What did he mean by " I will "spectate" the car and make it a roller for $1000."

    We have discussed the Stallion on here before. From the pictures, looks like a rust bucket.
