I have paperwork for the car's entire life including the original bill of sale. (see image)Car was treated to Ziebart when new to prevent rust.Paint looks good (one repaint years ago)
Interior looks original and clean.Two bench seats with 6 pairs of seat belts.Front bench seat is a manual split seat and both seat backs can fully recline.Engine block has "390" cast in the side.

Floors and Trunk are solid.New reproduction under-hood insulation mat.New reproduction trunk floor lining.
I am the 4th owner.The original owner owned the car for 47 years.Third owner drove it to my house when I purchased it.In my opinion, the car should be fully serviced due to the mileage before driving regularly.Inever licensed and insured the car andI drove it only around my neighborhood.
It has a STRONG 390/4V engine.Transmission shifts as it should, but has a leak, perhaps from the pan gasket.Front suspension should be inspected and serviced. Its old.I never inspected the brakes. It stops fine.A/C system is complete but has not been converted to the new Freon, nor has it been checked for leaks.Prior owner installed dual exhaust.Air Cleaner Lid is not original, but an aftermarket top.
CLEAN SC title in my name with no liens.
