Might as well if it's cheap enough. Full size or a Skylark?

Fullsize I guess, it's actually Jimbob's old car, 440 cubic inches of pure unadulterated licence losing power!

That's very nice JB, how old's the photo?

Did you see the '64(?) 225 pn ebay last week?

Hey CRAP, I think that's a Oldsmobile no?

Nah, didn't see it.

The photo would be bout 4 years old. The paint isn't as good now, been sittin outside in the Canberra climate, but for the money is still good. Runs strong. Was thinkin of buyin myself just for those big ass drums and the 430, would look good in the '31 roadster, Hhmmmmmmmmm....

Cheers and beers

Nah, tell him I'll take it, if he's in not too much of a rush to sell.

What's the '31 roadster? I thought you had a Buibk and a Bucket?

Here's my 68 LeSabre. Motor is out of it in the shop it sits. Waiting patiently for me to clean/rebuild/paint. I am shaving the door handles next, with some mild motor bolt ons. mmMMmm cam! amazing what a fresh coat of satin black does to an engine bay! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
