Looks like a '79 model front end to me?? 1980's had headlamp buckets that stuck out further- More flush to the actual grille surround. Hard to explain until you see one.....

Should be a great build coming though.... =)

I picked this one up for $1,000...wasn't running when I bought it...bought a new distributor, plugs and wires, and a new master cylinder for it and ran fine...my buddy picked up an 86 last year in running condition for about $1,200
