Thanks! I'm actually both in Chicago & Decatur, IL, and about to find out what kind of mileage that '71 YS400 block will get going down I-57. (Not that I'll be commuting those 200mi regularly in this one; I have a tiny but highly efficient Honda Del Sol for that!) 
Added a few more pics; the underside of this NV/CA car is quite amazing - especially since I've been looking at Midwestern cars for a while now (salt, rust...ugh). So when I saw this one I jumped on it!
I do have a few simple newbie questions; feel free to steer me to the other forums. Did the base cars really come with a single, chromed driver's side rear view mirror, or did the PO change that from the body-colored ones I see on other cars? Not having a passenger side mirror may get tricky, especially around Chicago!
Thanks,
Oliver
