B body. I was at a rest stop & decide to take a pic. Will be home with it soon. Had to travel to save this one. I felt it was worth it.

It needs floor pans & a big block...
Are wagon floor pans the same as a 2 door B body? Anyone know?
 
I am Sure 71-74 B bodie Floor pans, inner fenders, Firewall would work for that car. They share the same dash, Suspension.
 
Not a big fan of the color. It's needs a repaint, but I have always liked keeping cars in the original color. If I decide to keep it I would want to hot rod it. Nothing too radical. Mild cam, keep it auto. Keep the A/C. What kind of wheels would look good on this car in this color. Talking 15 inch with a Hot Rod theme. Not into the 20 inch rubber band stuff. Anybody got some ideas. I have a set of Huricanes or Turbines some call them (Think General Lee's wheels). I think they would look ok, but I think I can do better. I may put it on the B body Fourm with a quick sale price too. Just don't know. I don't need another project, but I just couldn't let this one go to a Demo guy or crusher. Especially with a title & good quarters.
 
Keep us posted on the progress......and the 1/4 mile results!

I will. After I got a taste of that big block 6 second car I'm ashamed to even take my 318 car out of the garrage. They have a 1/4 mile Nostalgia race this Saturday at VMP. I love those events. I was planning on racing it, but I may just spectate & leave "The Beast" hidden...LoL

ANY TIME you can blast down the 1/4 mile is cool.......even with a slant 6! I would keep the 318 on the track until you got a big block ready.
 
Yea I suppose. Hard to argue with that. When I'm racing I don't have a lot of time to walk around & socialize, and check out the other cars. And I'm pretty competitive. I may just sit this one out & check out the cool old Hot Rods. Eat some BBQ & a big ole chicken leg. And I love listening to the old dudes tell their stories.
