That's pretty much what i'm looking for anyway. I have my plan all worked out for my project GTA. I'll probably ditch the 350 in favor of a big block (if i can fit it in), if not it'll be a 383. I can take care of the engine and tranny work myself. Body parts for that car are a dime a dozen, and i've got a buddy who does amazing show car paint. Then i'll just leave the interior to CST.

Only issue is if the car has T-tops. If it does, then it's not much of a project car cause the torque from even a modded 350 will twist the crap out of that body. The hartops are the only cars of those years stiff enough to take serious power.

I didn't realize until just tonight that you live in California...so maybe I would be better off trying to find one NOT across the continent. But even so, if you decide to sell, let me know. I'll see what I can do.
