Just put 110 miles on the car in the last week. Runs great. Had the muffler shop install a Waldron’s exhaust system I purchased. Four hours later and a bunch of $$$ but came out great. Still have a few gaskets more and a bunch of other items but the list is getting shorter.

Here is the link to a drive shaft on eBay. He is in Minnesota a lot closer to you.
Good luck

I know the car. My buddy Clint bought the car and sold it. Its had a lot of work done. Jim just rebuilt the turbo and carb. Clint had the car converted to disc brakes and 5 lug wheels. Nice car.
