Wow that looks like a good deal : )
Be a sneaky lil street sleeper in the right hands (not mine! I can barely run a wheelbarrow lol)

 

Even has an in-dash tach. Pretty cool little car.

 

So rarely see nice examples. This one looks like a little bit of detailing and TLC it really make it pop. Cheap way into the hobby and / or a great way to get a younger person into the hobby

 

And as you drive down the street, bubbles come out the tailpipe.

 

I just always had a thing for the four headlight cars.
What were they...just 77 and 78? The 79 went with singles?

 

I still remember at an ole GS Nats seeing a Geo Storm with I guess a 455 Buick engine in it! No bubbles on that one except molten bubbling rubber in the water box!

 

Definitely better look

 

Kinda digging that spoiler and paint scheme!

 

Tried to find the Bonneville Skyhawks but “only found” this one again, love to watch this beauty!

 

I remember seeing one of these for sale on ebay years ago.
It was set up to run NHRA minor stock class if I remember correctly it stated
the car ran like 14.1 .
I almost want to say it was a kenne-belle car but can’t remember exactly . I think it was silver or gray and a four speed .

 

Thanks Brad that was it . I guess I was off on the colors . Very sweet nostalgic car.

 

Thank God I'm 65 LOL

Actually as I'm writing this I don't remember where I put my damn iPhone .....

 

Nah ! Long term still like a razor , it's the keys , sunglasses and phone that will get you .
