Clean the living hell out of it, get a matching set of wheels, fix it, and drive it.

Its far too complete to part out.
It's Gumby's fault.

If it was a TC I'd say part it (because you can get some money for TC parts). But since it's a sport you might as well build it. Sports dont really have that many parts to sell. Hell, most every part that I removed from my sport to upgrade to TC parts went in the s metal bin at work.

i say leave it as is, and put in a built drivetrain then put in a built up stroked 351 and go confuse the hell out of  your local drage strip and ricers lol. or you could clean it up and drive it.

its not rust free and it has 177000 miles the driver fender it rusted out like Blackjacks only it goes behind the trim. the motor is apart and im going to see if i can get it to run. Best case is i get it to run clean it up and turn it so i can get out of debt.

more about the damage later. after i get it cleaned up i might have a different view on it.
