Right now my daily driver is a 90 Merc GRAND MARQUIS, it's a nice mid size 4 door. But I just found the 74 Bonneville I used to own and I will drag it home this weekend. I have already decided how the 455 will be rebuilt, and a newer 4L80E trans will be used , the body will come off the frame, and both completely redone. It's still in great shape, so it won't be a hard redo, just be easier to get to everything!. I am changing the color from the silver / white top & interior to Admirality blue and black interior. Not enough of these 2 doors left!

It should look very good when done. Having the big 455 engine is a bonus!
I would like to use your photo of a 68 linc that you have on here. I would like to use it in a presentation booklet of American Cars. Can you let me know if this is allowed please? Many thanks, Susi
My 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix. The original 389 had a blown head gasket when I got it, but it had a rebuilt transmission. I bought a 1966 Grand Prix parts car with a good drivetrain, took its engine and used it with the rebuilt transmission. Had to take the front clip off to pull the engine and haven't quite finished:
