    This is my daily driver. It came from the factory with a 307 & a 3spd automatic. It still has a V8 in it but I don't know if it is the factory engine or has been replaced. The paint is the factory color. I will be adding more pics soon.

    Thanks Bill,
    It will probaly always be just a daily driver for me cause I will probaly never be able to afford to have it painted. I am happy with it the way it is though so I guess that's all that matters.

    Yes the way I look at is that if you are going to drive it everyday there's no need in putting a high dollar paint job on it. I am working on getting my air compressor hooked up at my garage & I am going to start sanding and priming all of the surface rust on the top & and other areas.
