Factory Black Cherry - Code 78

This is the 1st car that I bought (senior year high school - '88). It was originally a 307 & 3sp manual transmission car w/ factory floor shift and bench seat, along with dark green paint.

I bought it with a 350, a black paint job, and the factory Saginaw 3 spd manual still in place. Over the years, the car has seen a couple variations of the 350 and a couple of 4spd transmissions along with a paint job (red w/ stripes).

Now the car is going through a rebuild from the bare body/shell up.

It's now painted the factory Black Cherry and is being reassembled to have a factory stock appearance with a 350 and a 5 spd transmission. Performance wise, it should be a 11.90 1/4 mile car with street manners.
