thats a cool ride! i had a 77 GMC sprint(same as elky) almost 10 years ago. paid $230 for it and drove it for 2years! it was a great car but rough, then i bought a nice 76 elky with a rod knock for $150. started to swap motors then gave up and sold them both. oh well. good luck on your ride! good to see young kids that arent into ricers!
