I had a 70 red with black vinyl top one back when I was in high school. Loved it.

Here are some pics of my 70 that I bought back in 1987. I've had the car painted twice since I've had it. The second time it was taken all the way down to metal and new quarter panels welded on. It needs another paint job.

It was originally a 400 small block car with a 350 turbo tranny in it. It now has a 396 BB/400 turbo tranny combo in it.

I'm going to start fixing it up again when the house is paid off in about a year and a half.
