:wel: from Phelan, SoCal. It may have Government Motors stuff on/in it but as long as your heart is pure and you long for an FE or 300 I6, that's all that matters. Looks like it has a '71 Grill in it too. After 40 plus years, it's what you can expect. You've got a Great Foundation to start with! Welcome Back!
