Re: Got a sweet deal on this 84

It has potential. I'd pay someone to buff and polish that thing. For a couple hundred I bet it would look like new paint. I'm guessing it could use a medium compound then work to a light and the polish it. Follow it up with a couple coats of wax and you'd be good. I like stories like yours. You saved it.

For 700, that's awesome. 305? I thought I got a good deal!

No V8, it has the 4.1L inline 6 with a 4 speed on the floor. Eventually I will convert it to a V8 with an automatic transmission.
