I purchased this car last summer from a 73 year old lady who was the original owner. It has a 318(non smog heads) with disc brakes. She only drove all 26242 original mies between may & september for 33 years!!! It has never seen winter. She also didn't even own a garage!!! Just a car cover. The car is rust free with the exception of some minor spots under the vinyl!A rare find up here! When I bought the car it was all original with the exception of the tires (bias ply which were changed 2-3 years prior),the original muffler and wiper blades. I have since installed an Edelbrock intake, carb,Hedman headers (not fun!!!)Dyonomax 2 1/2 exhaust with X-pipe and Stereo. I also tucked in the front bumper and removed the bumperettes. Mechanically all that was needed was to re-arc the rear springs. It even passed the safety check!!!

This was the day that I picked it up. Right away we took the magnum 500's off my Father in law's '67 Satellite to see how it would look. you can really see the impact with the bigger boots!!! My buddy Jim is in the photo as well.
Future plans include; vinyl roof removal, paint rims and tires. I am currently deciding on which rims to go with which is a very tough decision as they can make or break the look of the car.
Here is the look and inspiration I am after

I picked up these original hood scoops but have yet to decide if I will use them on the car. They are in great shape especially for $75!!
