I really like it... I would change the simulated woodgrain dash panels and bucket with a center console.. That 200 transmission may not be what you want.. I am in the process of rebuilding my 86 Regal from scratch.. I picked up a 454 bbc,TH400 for it.. and recently picked up a 9" ford rear housing... It is all just in case.. I wanna be pushing around 600 ponies with my combo...

Good Luck!!!
 
Well I don't know if anyone mentioned it... But if it's a 7.5 ten bolt they're easily identifiable by the bottom of the casting on the center section. This picture will show you what to look for.

And like was said spin the rear wheels off the ground if both spin the same direction its a posi, if the dealer has a car lift ask him to put it up on there so you can get a better look at the under side... And you'll also get to see if someone put like after market upper and lower control arms in it or anything like that, sway bars, etc. I'm guessing if someone put a BBC in there, they built a proper foundation for it though. It looks like an awfully nice car for someone to have neglected such important things.
 
Nice car! Don't know why he would want stick on GN badges though. Its not a GN theme or motor. Its just cool in its own right. The cage is well done to work as a street car. For a steet car geared for the 1/4 mile that you can also take up on the highway or out of town like on a powertour the 200-4R is ideal as long as its built to handle big block torque. Not that those radials are going to provide enough traction. :mrgreen: Th400 would be better for a drag car though.
 
dam that thing is nice... if it doesnt already have a 12 bolt (which if it does, i would just leave it alone) then you can build your complete rear 9" anywhere from $1000 and up, depending on how lucky you are... with how clean tht car looks, it may already have a nice rear...

hope you get it for an awesome price, it seems nice, like the roll cage too
