anyone with a 1979'ish Tbird?

I'm curious to know if anyone has or had one that can tell me what front suspension was used (Torino platform?), and the measurements between motor mounts, and track width. even frame width would be cool.  Not having much luck googling.

I find it ironic and funny, that the next day after posting this, a co-worker said his neighbor has a 79 tbird for sale $300.  351W runs great, but body rusted.  Would it be worth buying and ticking off the wife?  I dunno, but it would be nice to have.

That is funny. My $.02 worth is to jump on it! A good running 351W should be worth $200 or more, easy. You should be able to s the rest of the car for another $200-$300. Sounds like a good deal to me.
