I wonder what his tire pressure was starting out.

Nooo :/ But he had fun I guess :) And it seems he actually have winter tyres.

I saw it this morning before he set out and it looked like he was full up on air

Doing donuts and spinning the tires of 7.5in rear equipped GM cars is not advised due to C-clip retainers. Lucky he didn't lose an axle.

the only way to get these cars to move is with winter tires...

No doubt about that, it's just that I've seen a fair share of videos on "the internets" where Americans drive on snow without proper tyres :) So this made me happy.

if he can pick up an 8.5 in rear from a Grand National or Hurst Olds, it's a bolt under.

nice, I am not sure how long he is keeping it. He bought it for his now ex-girlfriend to be her first car (at 37yo haha) but that is over. He has 2 1970-71 Chevy trucks, a 48 Jeep, a Cherokee, I think still a mail Jeep and no off street parking, so this may be gone soon, but I will tell him if he keeps it

if it's a good rust free example, I'd recommend picking it up from him. These G-bodies seem to be becoming popular.
