    long story short this car was an abandoned car, sat for 30 years, no title etc...my buddy and me are turning it into a demo derby car, this is one of 2 that we are building we have a 92 Olds cutlass that i will be running but this one is a 67 Coronet 440 with the 273 V8

    what we got so far

    car is now running

    90% of the trim is stripped off

    trunk is cleaned out











    smoked up the whole garage when we got it running
