keep looking...........that is my only advice.......unless you have like working on your $10,000 investment.........big block or not.......if it has been butchered with aftermarket parts.......there is alot of complete cars on the market that you could actually be proud of...........this appears to be a bubba special through and through..........just my opinion of course

The hood fits in a hole that isnt the same shape as the hood. both front fenders have the wrong shapt at teh flare like they are built out of filler. The rear of the right front fender has visible damage showing through the paint. The rear cutouts for the exhaust is too small with no bezels. the right rear park light is missing lens. The right door meets the fender like crap. I think I see cracks in the right front fender in front of the eggcrate and at top of fender opening.Filthy interior. Wiper door stuck open. The door jambs dont match the extrior color. The console looks like someone touched it up with black paint pen. wrong radiator.the grilles fit like craaaap. I will stop now.
A few good points.... TWO fuel filters, you cant just go and buy one of those blue steering wheel covers anymore. I personally love the passenger door mirror... you can hardly tell LOL
The WORST thing about this car is some poor person is going to shell out good money for a junker

Oh... Right mufler hangs, and the tunnel back on the left looks rough...
Lots of work, and money needed for this piece of kife! Lots of it!!!
The worst thing is... "If you can see flaws from a picture" Up close and under close inspection might look like a horror flick!
I've seen cars that looked mint on photos, but then after driving there and seeing them first hand...you get scared....
-----IT IS A MUST---LOOK/INSPECT/LIFT IT/DRIVE IT!!!
Never dish money out on anything you can't physically evaluate.
....I feel sorry for the guy who could end up with this car...

The Motor Is Clearly The Worst Part
Hi, All things considered it aint that bad until you lift the hood and take a look at the motor,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a freakin OLDS,,,,,,,what an abortion, them guys from Jersey sure do put a different slant on things. Shoulda just shot the wad and put a 500 C.I. Caddy in it, or how about maybe a 350 Olds diesel
