Pity they jacked up the rear and put side pipes on it too!

Loose the wheels and pipes, put the skitrts back on and it could be a decebt car. And I bet he'd get more money for it too.

But how can it ride like a Cadillac being jacked up like that with those wheels? You might was well be driving aoround on steel rims for all the good those tires are doing.

That's $4000.00 worth of wheels and tires. Maybe you could just sell them to help finance the car? O0 O0 O0

Ueagh, what I meant is the '71 was a coil-spring rear suspension.

This car must've been changed to leaf springs? :scratchhead:

Man, I'd like to see the (lack of) workmanship on that deal.

I was trying to remember the rear suspension layout last night. Somehow I pictured leaf springs as origianl like the '67-70.
