Vehicle Detail
The car was partially restored by a previous owner. The body is in good condition and all glass is present and acceptable. There is rust and a small hole in the driver's door jam below the lower hinge. As may be seen in the photos, the interior shows the car's age. The seats could be cleaned but the carpets would need replacement. The engine works but is not reliable as the coolant will boil after 15 mins of idling. Pressure tests on the cooling system indicate that it is holding pressure with no exhaust gasses present. Compression tests on the cylinders do not suggest any blown gaskets and indicate reasonable compression given the car's age. As visible, the car has a new Edelbrock intake (EDL-5486) and a new Edelbrock carburetor (350-1403) with electric choke. There is a new air cleaner (not shown) included. The radiator is new. This car is a good candidate for a dedicated restoration but is equally suitable as a parts donor to another project.
