hello from central illinois

When I was 20 I had a 1984 cutlass that was set up for drag racing. Heat air delete, ford 9" notched frame, the whole nine yards. I sold it right before getting married and having a family, Now 20 years later I found it. It is in bad shape but I purchased it to restore back, to not a drag car any longer but a street car. I will be looking for parts and advice. the floor pans are rotted out. the current owner wants to keep the ford nine inch and engine but set up for small block chevy. The body looks decent still. some day it will be back on the road

I have the option to buy the nine inch but it's narrower than the stock rear end so it needs special wheels or spacers and it's a 4:11 with a spool so no give on turns or cruising around town.
