Mike,

Are you looking for a starter for your car? What size engine do you have? I have a few parts for the older cars. I have three V-8 starters and they all work. I also have 440's, blocks-cranks-heads-intakes, and many other parts if your ever interested in going big block. I also have 727 trans's to go behind that big block. I have some small block 360 parts that if put together will make over 375 horse. Just need a block. All parts are used but in good shape. Would sell at a good price. Let me know what your looking for I might have it.

When your ready look me up, I might be around in 10 years (then again maybe not). I have a lot of experience in conversions like that and can help you out with questions, if you like. I also have built and raced quite a few really good running mopar muscle cars over the years. My last one was a '70 Dart with a small block, best run 11.18 @ 118 mph.And the best part was I didn't spend a fortune on it. I originally built it for $5000 and it ran 12.17 @ 107mph with 375 H.P. Then I went up to 505 H.P. to get into the 11's.( and that's on gas, no nitrous) If you need a trans guy I can help with that, too. I wouldn't try and tackle it unless you have experience and the correct tools.

I can and have done rebuilds on 904's and 727's but I'd rather let him do them when I need one. He's all set-up with the right equipment such as a spray tank for cleaning and other speciality tools. He's not the cheapest but he's the best.

As far as an excellent light-weight radiator, check out Summit's Aluminum 1" tube. It work's great and costs a whole lot less than a Griffen or Be-Cool.

I've used them in an A-body and E-body with no issues.

It looks like a real bargain.

Engine bay looks pretty clean. Does it say what shape the front suspension is in. Mine needed a lot of work on it. Cost me close to $500 in 1985 dollors. Why are all the wires hanging under the dash and why is the hood cockeyed. But overall, it looks like a keeper.

Why are there no pictures of the trunk, could the floor be that rotted? Be careful, If the rest of the car is as bad as it is under the hood it could be real trouble. What's with the GM altenator and that funky looking extra long radiator hose that turns 180 degrees and heads the wrong way. obviously not a real 440 car.( If it says that, I didn't read it, just looked at the pics for you.) I would just be weary of what other butcher work did he do that you can't see.
