had a friend that bought and restored an old trans-am and it takes more money than what you anticipate to restore a car like that.i would go with fixing the ex though regardless.:D

Dude get the car, get the car fix it up get a good job. Save your money then do what u needa do with the 400. Then you'll have both. But, the 400 can wait. A car would be more important.

Do you have a car?, and how old are u? If you have a car fix the 400. If you are like 16-18 and dont have a car go for the car, only if it runs and drives fine.

What the hell is a cutles350? No you dont know what your getting into, its not just about the motor an interior, its about replacing everything! Any dumbass can rebuild a motor.
