Description
Engine/Transmission- The motor runs strong with a recent set of plugs/wires/points and new Quadrajet carb. Drives and shifts very well with a strong clutch, no synchro issues, tight brakes and is not overheating. Original block and heads, see the pictures below. I have a shot with the valve cover off to verify the numbers and you can see there is no oil sludge build up! Clean! May have been rebuilt in the past or the oil was always changed regularly. No engine knocks and no smoking out of the exhaust. Both heads have the same casting number and correct date code. The intake manifold is also original with a casting number of 3955287 and a date code D2870. The clutch feels great and seems to have a lot of life left. Matching numbers on the 4-speed trans also. See a picture of the stamping below. By the way, manual steering and brakes, but power can be added if you desired, all available aftermarket. Interior- Appears to be original from 1970. Seats are decent, not all torn up but are showing some wear. Some cracks on the doorpanel armrests, etc. and the carpets should be replaced or dyed. Again, you can see it all in the pictures below. Fuel gauge, temp gauge and oil pressure gauge appear to be working. Underside- All original from 1970 other than a replaced fuel tank and replaced brake cylinders. The frame is very solid and just has the expected surface rust/corrosion you would find on an original 50 year old car.
