Its got some rust on the rockers and fenders that i wanna stop before it goes much further... I might end up just cutting the bad stuff away and tack welding in some sheet metal and filling the rest with bondo.. Then I will just rattle can over it

No not at all... Its one thing i hate doing cause I always seem to muff it up in some sort of way... I was looking around on rock auto at some stuff they got pieces I might end up getting.. They are relatively inexpensive

at $900 i think you almost robbed the guy. i payed more than that for mine but then again i got the more powerful magnum engine with overdrive transmission and a/c that works.

I like the simplicity of the 727 with a carbed 318. Not to mention the front end, but that's a matter of opinion.

i also like my carbed 318 but i do too much city and hiway driving. i really needed the fuel injected engine and overdrive transmission. it seem to get a fairly solid 14mpg unlike my 81. i wanted to use my 81 for driving around town but i am not sure if i can afford having insurance on 2 vehicles at a time.
