Could be a good buy for someone.

Looks like a good price for what could be a fairly easy project car.

 

[OLE PONY]

Looks like the new wheels, tires, and parts are worth at least that much.

 

[Steve73QMach1]

what is that compartment in the engine bay where the battery would normally be located?

That is some interesting fabrication work there along the front aprons.

Anyone else notice it's running a serpentine belt instead of v belts?

I thought you would go wild with the engine compartment...i'm disappointed

The plate-patch cowl irritates me more than the aprons. Easy enough to fix the aprons, but that cowl patch will be a pain. Sure, that's the wrong radiator (and it fits like it too!), no shroud, etc, etc - but it isn't trying to be anything it isn't. It is just your run-of-the-mill POS.

The scariest part of it isn't even the car, but the story: It had a 460 in it? With 4-wheel manual drum brakes? Talk about your death wishes.

That engine appears to be a EFI 302 (5.0) turned into a carbureted engine, or an older 302 with the later 5.0 serpentine hardware + water pump bolted to the front. Bad match for the cam?

It's a project for sure.

That's more like it...I was worried you were going blind or something

Ever seen the tiny little front drums on a 427-powered 1963 1/2 Galaxie 500 XL? rofl

Its so obvious!!!!

Its the Flux capacitor, rofl

There a couple of "wrong" things under the hood, the battery is on the wrong side as well.
