I've always wanted one of these cars and although I really want a long term project car, and eventually a tow rig, I don't have the time for it now. Nonetheless, I'm considering it in case the right example crosses my path to swap a modern GM drivetrain in. Many people have thrown iron-LS motors in them so there is a ton of info and even parts needed for the swap. Anyway, any experience with these cars? With a suspension and brake fresh-up and newer motor, can these things safely pull my camaro on a trailer long distances? Am I crazy considering I am as handy as a toddler?
