    From the looks of the moisture under there, I think you got them just in time before they started to rust. Good save..they look really solid.

    How'd you find them? A lead or just poking around? Looks like they might have been fixed up in the '70's last by the stick on body side moulding. tnrotter

    Can't raise my prices or they go to any of the other 32 shops in town.At one time I was the only game in Omaha.I think we'll flip the sedan,Turd brother Terry wants the coupe.Rob Lee and I might have us a flatty powered modified in the future.Something along these lines.

    what's up with that rear carb? is it hooked up? different than the front one too.

    looks like some good solid cars. raised white letter bias plys... bet there is an 8 track or a CB radio inside that one.
