Congrats Dave! Welcome to the W72 club. I've owned a few of these and they are tons of fun when all the bushings are replaced with fresh rubber and the 15 X 8 wider snowflakes are added. Too bad the Original owner didn't tick the WS6 box, that is the gem with the 78-81 cars, it was GM's best suspension option of the '70s...better than Vettes.

I agree on paint, Martinique looks spectacular fresh. Get that exhaust off of there and hang it in the garage as art - that is all it is good for. Put on some Ram Air Restoration Enterprises 2.5" original appearing Ram Air manifolds (just like a Judge!) and a good mandrel bent 2.5" exhaust . get a Cliff Ruggles kit for the carb and watch that baby come alive. N.H.R.A. spec'd that engine at 260 horsepower back in the day, laughing at Pontiac's 220 rating. I added 3.73 gears to mine as the 400 is way peakier than a 455 obviously.

I'll be watching this one, let's get going!
