White-ish

Purchased for a gentleman's wife in Toronto, this old girl trundled around Ottawa for roughly 30 years before she was retired to a salvage yard.
Not even a week went by before my father and I snapped her up.
Oldsmobile 260 "powered" and TH350 propelled she sports disc brakes up front and drums in the rear with a 2.56 open diff. Power steering, AM Radio and a rear defroster round out her only "extras" alongside big comfy red benches.
After attempting to tune the lump of coal under the hood I eventually ended up ripping the whole front end off and replacing virtually everything and dropped a 1970 Poncho 400 from a GTO that I built myself out of spare parts from my dad's garage.

Just a note: Currently the car is midway through a changeover from the old TH350; which is now dust, to a Muncie M21 out of my dad's Corvette. As such it looks incomplete and terrible. Sorry.
