Talking Wow!!

I think I should become a bus driver. Anybody got $165,000 I could borrow? haha. I've seen this on a thread here already. I just didn't know it was for sale.

"sports a 403ci Oldsmoble engine with front wheel drive on a complete Eldorado frame."

That kills it for me.

Yeah, you're right about the FWD and the engine but it looks good. I've been looking on oldride.com at the old Fords and so many people put a chevy in 'em. I don't really understand it. Parts may be cheaper (so I've heard, never had a chevy) but it just doesn't seem right to me.
