Great link Zinpieces! KindDavid - Do you have some pics of the car? Also, I'm curious if you ever found the engine markings and identified the engine. You should post a pic of the stampings so I can partice reading the engine vin! It's a new skill I wanna try out! haha

Thanks for the link jasper. I'm not near the car right now (not even in the same country!) so I can't measure the lug pattern. I know I won't be able to find out the lug pattern without actually measuring it. I was more concerned with identifying the rims. Thanks for the effort though. I suppose I should clarify - I just want to know the make of the rims.

Definitley interested in that fuel cell setup!

Did somebody say funnzies car?!

I'm no expert but that seems to me like it's a little far gone. But like others have said, it's all how much the car is worth too you. If it holds sentimental values, then I would say go for it. If you're deterred by the 2K price tag for those estimates (which seem low)then you probably don't have the funds to tackle such a project. It would make a good donor car though. Just my $0.02

So I searched but can't find what kind of wheels these are. They look like centerlines to me, but I can't quite find the exact wheel. They'll be up for sale soon to if anybody is interested in them. They're 14's. That's about all I got on them so far. I need to know the lug pattern too, but I'm sure you can't tell just by looking at them.

Wow! Good catch Nealsonian. I was planning on getting the fender flares and the fender mirrors for it too. Just noticed the car doesn't even have side view mirrors. Guess that saves the shaving step. Can't imagine that's legal though.

I'm not sure what's up with that bumper. The pics were taken with an iphone. The bumper is more than likely going to get shaved for weight purposes.....and I'm cheap. The fiberglass ones will require a modified 70-72 bumper bracket, not to mention paint. I'm not a big fan of the rear quarters either, but my brother makes good points. 1)they look better in person and 2)they could be hiding some damage to the body lines (like creases, which would be a LOT of work to get right again) 3)leaving it as is will free up some money to go towards mechanical stuff. He looked over everything and said it doesn't appear to have cancer anywhere - the floor pans have already been replaced which leads me to believe that the PO did do a once-over on the body for rust. The work, although not my taste, does seem to be quality. The attention to detail seems well done too. Notice the fenders are molded in with the headlight buckets. Anyways, like you guys said, it's a good start (some would say a VERY good start) to a project. I may leave the body as is and just put money into the mechanics. Suspension, weight reduction, and drivetrain are going to be the focus up front. I do, however, like the rear light panel.

Those tires scare me. I'm digging the rims though.

Actually, my brother did the transaction for me since I'm overseas. He said those funky looking rear quarters aren't bad in person - "they kind of grow on you." I, however, think they take away from the body lines. He's a body guy at a classics restoration and customs shop and said it'll take a lot of work to remove those things - not to mention who knows what they're hiding or why the PO put them on there. It seems they're blended all the way from the hatch to half way down the rear quarter. Anyways, I need to know what type of rims those are. It's soon going to get coilovers and new rims (16x9.5"). However, I can get any rims until I find out that lug pattern - apparently the PO did a conversion but I don't know what lug pattern he did. What's a common 5-lug conversion for these things? Oh apparently the PO passed away, his son inherited it then sold it to his friend. Neither one have any clue what's been done to the car. Time for a tear-down. It's got a SBC in it. The tranny is toasted though. Thoughts?

Sorry, off topic - I'm still researching. Does the tranny cross member really bolt through the floorpans just like that?

What color is that? It looks kind of like 110 but...darker....richer. Looks fantastic! I'm debating between that color or a gunmetal-ish extremely dark gray metallic.
