i talked to the guy(my girlfriends uncle) and he told me of a car he had sitting that he wasnt doing anything with... so i asked more about it and told me it was a 4 door buick... he also told me there was some surface rust from it sitting (was garaged from previous owner) and that it had about 120k miles on it... i drove to where he said it was ( a local garage) and there it was... sitting there... just waiting for me to scoop it up... i look at the outside... white... some surface rust where the vinal(i cant spell) top was and on the trunk and inbetween where the rear glass and trunk lid is where the only real rust and rot is...other than that ... sweet... oh ya... ya know how i said 120k is what he thought it had? nah... i wasnt that lucky... i was luckier!!! it has 98k miles... and the interior...wow... leather is just so nice... i love leather... and i havent even told ya about y i love this car so much... this is the winner right here... 455 big block... BLAM!!! lol... nothing special... they were the stock engine ... its factory rated at 260 hp but id say it has way more than that... at over 4000 lb's its a boat...
im gonna rebuild the heads first to make it run nice and smooth and give it duel flowmasters for a nice sound...other than that... ima cruise...alot... just at 5 mph in neutral downhill with people pushing with the price of gas nowdays...
oh ya... im giving the guy the geo prism to pay for the tow to my house...lol...it was a POS anyways...im gonna see if i can mess the car up hard core first....lol...

Sounds like a fun project. One of the guys I cruise with has a 455 in a 85 Monte Carlo. He just put more cam in it and stuck a 750 carb on it. It sounds great through a pair of flowmasters.

Good luck with it :)
