I guess it has a Chevy engine swap but no pictures of said swap + rusty = worth $2800.
But its got a wing.
Plus duals and a tc hood.
Stock 14" tires might be fun, bet its an open diff too. Tire spin for days
All worth the $$$$. All of it.
My car has tire spin for days even with 16" wheels :hick:
That's either the smallest salvage yard I have ever seen or this guy needs to haul some off and clean up his yard...
I'm going with the latter.
It's got black window trim so it's a Sport, which means traction lock. And that's about the only thing it's got going for it.
If it's a 6.6 and a Chevy, it's a 70's 400 small block. They weren't performance engines and were known for overheating because their large bore meant siamesed cylinders. The highest rated example was in the mid 200's for horsepower and they were meant for trucks and large cars. They were kinda Chevy's answer to the Ford 400M and Chrysler's 400 (though the Chevy came first) - mid-displacement emissions choked torgue monsters but not good performers, and with little aftermarket support. I doubt it has the four bolt mains as well, because such engines are quite rare.
I only know this stuff from back when I had my Firebirds and wanted a 400, because, as we all know, bigger is better :hick: Little did I realize back then that the LT1 I had was far more powerful and far more valuable than any 400...
The 400 Chevy with a decent cam, heads and 4bbl intake was quite the runner, were searched out just for that reason... In the later '80s I had a guy come several miles to buy a 400 '70 Impala I had for sale... Unlike Ford's 400 lump, Chevy's 400 was a decent size package... The Ford could run with a good set of 351 Cleveland heads, aftermarket intake etc... Still due to physical size were really only suited for midsize and larger cars, plus the F-series...
