The car didn't have a trans but the poly was with the car. I decided to let the scrappers have it though. It was sitting next to the car on the ground completely out in the elements and locked up. I'm more of a 440 guy anyhow. I'll have to post some pics once it's in primer as this car has one of the cleanest bodies ever. The rust you see in the pics in the fender dog leg and one quarter sized spot behind the rear wheel is it. Just need to get rid of that burned through paint at this point........:icon_mrgreen:

Yeah, the bigger the better! I bought a '65 New Yorker 413 & 727 for mine but I think I'll put the 413 in my Roadrunner for now and just let the Belvedere go as is. Good pick-up.

Hosehead, great buy! Was it with or without a motor/trans? I bought my gold/white Belvedere II last year but have done very little to it. We did get the original 273 running (barely) after being in a barn for 24 years.

I'm thinking of letting it go though because I just bought a 69 Roadrunner, and already have a 56 Chevy 210 project that needs to go also. Best of luck with your new toy!

How seriously are you thinking about letting it go? any details? where about in SW Washington are you located. PM if you decide.

I love those. Good Score

I gave the fenders to my body man friend yesterday so this is the only rust left on the car at this point.:hello2:

Power washers are a beautiful thing.
