#'s matching!!!! To start with this car IS VERY RARE W72 OPTION AUTOMATIC WHICH IS THE 4 SPEED MOTOR OPTION. 90% all other autos were just l78 option!!!!! U had to be a gear head to order w72 option automatic!!!! Ws6 package also was ordered which not many y88 were ordered with.... The rarest option I found is it was ordered with pass side vanity mirror,, very very rare!!!! has been stored in a heated garage since 1990. Taken out in 2005 to be restored. Car was taken apart stripped to bare metal and repainted,re striped and some interior redone. Body is all metal car was never rusted!!!! The only mud in the car is to feather DINGS and imperfections. All PANELS were seam sealed body was lined up then taken back apart and cut in. Then re installed all original PANELS and base clear was done. Interior had new headliner and new carpet installed. Original uncracked dash original seats and original console is intact and shows well. All new weatherstrip new door handles new locks and keys. Trunk was sprayed in gm speckle paint. The original spare tire NEVER touched the ground. Along with original jack. Under carriage was painted black at that time. All original brake lines and fuel lines EVEN HAS THE 1990 GOODYEAR EAGLE ST TIRES!!!ALL THE BRAKES AND SUSPENSION IS ORIGINAL TO THE CAR..New stripe kit was installed and car went back into hibernation.....original build sheet is includedthis car hasn't been on the road since 1990 its going to need a once over on brakes suspension etc. The car does start and run but hasn't been driven. The carb deff needs rebuilt and I'm sure tuned up. This car paint is 9 out of 10 interior is 9 out of 10 car overall is very nice. Original air cleaner was changed at some point it should have the oval end . I put a Holley carb on it , to test the running of car the original carb needs rebuilt for sure.
