I like it a lot and I love my 455 ........but I'd rather have a 401/425 nailhead in something like that.
Since it says it's been in storage for the last 25 I'd have to guess that original Nailhead became a washing machine a long time ago.
I wonder what rear end it has now. Absolutely not the old torque tube still under it. That would sure be a cool cruiser. I like it.
It Looks like it has leaf springs under the rear end now, there is a wide selection of leaf spring rear ends with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern, which would allow the use of stock rims if desired. Bob H.
Spells American Graffiti all over but only better cause it's a Buick. Would leave it as is. Should be worth more. Someone is going to get a great deal.
