    hope this works!

    Sorry if I missed this somewhere but what type of rims are on the front?  The rears look like Cragar S/S but the front?  Are they Keystone Klassics? 

    Looks like a cool car!  Git it, cool car?   Snow?   On car?  Oh, never mind.......   :walkaway:

    Wow, the car looks great for sitting a while in Wisconsin. (Trust me, my former '69 Charger didn't hold up too well for 13+ years behind a barn.)  I'm almost on the other side of the state in school (UW-Platteville) and I live 2 hrs. north of GB.  If I were you, I'd get into contact with Aloha Automotive from Port Washington/Milwaukee if you need any parts for your car.  They have amazing parts that are already restored, not to mention Dan is a member here.  If you need parts for the project, I know there's still a couple junkyards/sellers around the Milwaukee area that carry E-body parts.

    thanks for some of the info, i would love to know where those junk yards are, the wheels are like a craegar style in back and keysone classics on front, they are shot though! the car is surprisingly solid, i still dont have it out of that spot, i really-really want it out of the elements but dont have much choice,
    there is about a foot of snow drifting to get to it, i think next week i will have a flat bed come out and get it, cant wait to start evaluating it. guy told me it has about 3000 miles on rebuily engin but hasnt run in 2-3 years, i am going to see if i can get it started in the spring,

    Hi, Great find! Its awesome knowing another e-body will be coming back to life!! Yeah,
    I'd like to know where those junkyards are too. The last one in the area I knew about,
    sent what they had left to Miller Compressing(smelter) when the steel prices got so
    high a while back. What was there before that, had sunk up to nearly the belt line
    in mud over the years!  Good luck with your new project, it looks to be in real solid
    condition from the photos!!   Jeff

    hey people, got it home, here are some pics, worst part is forward of the drivers side qtr, the car is rock solid other than that!, pretty happy with my purchase, and upon inspecting the vehicle i realized this thing was pretty well optioned, am/fm  , a/c, 340, i think it deserves a "as built" type of cosmetic restoration with maybe a few performance internal upgrades.i need to sell my amx, to start the resto, any takers????? anyhw check out the pics
