Notes:
I just purchased this car. I am not sure the engine is original. The block and
heads are red. I've been told they should be black, so I am thinking it's been changed
at some point. I don't know where to look on the block to find the engine serial no.

Notes:
Interior is in nice original shape. The carpeting is clean, the headliner is recent,
and all of the weatherstrip seals up well. The dash and original brightwork/gauges are
in exceptional condition. The gauge faces are clean and the chrome has a great shine
to it without the typical pitting problems.
The engine compartment is dry and and in good condition. The firewall and inner fenders
are solid. The 332 c.i. V8 starts up easy and runs good. This car runs down the road,
stops, and steers as it should. It is turn key and ready to enjoy.
