Just a few more details that I know so far. GM ZZ3 crate engine with just over 600 miles on it, dual friction clutch(unknown brand-possible centerforce), 4 speed trans, 3.08 gears in 10 bolt, unknown posi. Full Autometer intrumentation. Monoleaf rear springs, slapper-bar traction bars, subframe connectors, power disc brake conversion(new, installed), polygraphite bushings, new ball joints & tie rods, etc.
Interior is removed, and needs some attention. Previous owner was going through the wiring, and was going to retrofit some high-bolster seats from a Saturn coupe into it. He included both sets of seats, the stock hood and the new fiberglass cowl hood, and a bunch of other parts he had laying around in the deal.
The only rust I could find anywhere was at the lowest part of the rear quarters, behind the rear wheelwell, and it's very small. Should be easy to fix(I hope).

Nice project Roger...I had one of those ZZ? engines in my old Monte (can't remember which ZZ...it was the first ZZx that GM offered and I swapped a newer ZZ cam and intake into it). I really liked that mill, it ran great and was reliable. Between the Camaro that it was in at first and my Monte I believe that we had over 150k on it and it purred like a kitten when I traded the car in on my truck.
