Dash is original but looks brand new. Drivers door arm rest is bad, look at pictures. other than some sun damage to the back sear interior just about perfect. The back seat has some color discoloration at top of seat from sun. No one usually notices until I point it out. This car came from Alabama, never saw snow or winter. I've kept it in climate controlled garage since I've had it. Floor pans are perfect. The original paint has some nicks and stone chips. There is only one bad chip in a very unusal place, look at picture. I was told that the people had bought a set of the metal spike lawn darts they had years ago for sale . Some of their grand kids where trying to see how high and far they could throw them and this is what happened. They didn't really care so they had the local body guy just put some paint so it wouldn't rust.I was told by a body guy to leave it alone. His exact words where wow I haven't seen one of these this nice since they where on the dealers lot! The bumpers and rest of chrome are pretty much original. Its hard to find after market bumpers that shine as good as these original ones. The motor is a 289 that has been rebuilt,.030 over bore. At 10 to 1 compression. A cam , hydrallic that is supposed to be very close to the mechanical cam used back then was put in. Dual exh manifolds from 66 mustang and dual exhaust , sounds nice but quiet.Also a aluminum 4 barrel intake,low rise and holley 600 cfm carb where put on it. Added radiator sheild plus new high performance fan blade, don't want car to over heat.This was put together for car criuses. Car runs very cool. C4 automatic was rebuilt, TCI new converter was used.
