Nice color scheme. I would try to save it. If anything, I would try to get it running. That alone is half the battle! At least you have one. $600 is a steal if it is all there. I always worry about the frame rails. If those are gone, it is really hard to straighten them out (replace them). Everything else can be replaced.

I know how you feel. At least he sold it to you and didn't pull the usual, "Oh, I don't want to sell it, because I'm going to restore it... some day." That one really annoys me. Think of it this way, it would allow you to put a Pontiac engine it for some real power! That is what my car has in it (although I got mine with it in it). Actually, it has a Ram Air IV in it. |

I need the EGR-TVS if you're going to part it out. It's a little metal box thing that sits between the intake manifold and the water pump/timing chain cover. It has the EGR-TVS running through it.
