Comments:
I purchased a '70 base model 307 powerglide w/ A/C 3-owner car in 1997, and I drove it through college and to work while racing it most weekends. I built up the drivetrain first (getting mid 12 second passes N/A at the track), then in late 1999 she got a paint job on a student's budget. In 2000 she moved to weekend warrior and nice weather driver as my work commute took a bump to 80 miles round trip (she makes that trip a few times a year, but gas isn't cheap)! I did a new 383 stroker and had a custom 5-point rollbar done in 2003, and an interior re-hash in 2005 with a new dash.
