i'll get some pics up in the morning, too dark out right now.

heres some pics. its not too much to look at now but hopefully here in a few months she'll have new paint on her. gonna take off the rest of the side body trim so it gives it that smooth look lol. even tho its got a 307 it runs smooth and has plenty of power for having 164K on it.

Hello mjc79 and welcome to the forum. That is definetly an 80's car for it has the dounut spare tire. Over all the car looks to be in solid shape. Hope you treasure this gift from your grandfather.
