I recently picked this up in traded for my 69 comet. it needs some work obviously, like new fender, grill and bumper. It only needs a little rust repair around the rear wheel wells and that's it for the body. it has the 350 olds with a th350 trans. both have been built up pretty good, the engine has a pretty big cam intake and carb, and full msd ignition system. The trans has a stage 2 shift kit in it. The suspension is brand new not sure of the manufacturer but it handles better than almost anything I have ever drove. Plans for now is to get the body straight then do up the interior with some new upholstery and gauges. according to the PO the motor was dynoed around 6 months ago its at 375 hp and 360 fpt. This thing moves!Looking forward to diving head first into this thing. It also has 3.08 gears in the axle.

looks like a great start! My Project Sabre is a 71 as well, and I completely love it.
