It appears from initial inspection it has the original 292 engine and 3 speed transmission w/ most likely a 3:73 rear end. P5FH152442 body 40A color R trim B PROD 7BDD233. It is an original Torch Red car (paint code R). It was repainted blue at some point, then red over that but not in all areas of car. I don't see blue on fenders or 1/4 panels. It has not ran in over 30+ years, but engine turns over. I do find body putty on 1/4 panels just ahead and behind rear wheel openings down low that is starting to bubble. I see some bondo that is cracking near the junction of the tail lights and trunk joint. I cannot find any evidence of collision, the floor pans and trunk pan are rust free and will not need replaced. It has dummy spot lights that are not functional. The hard top is real nice outside, but the inner material has a 1" long hole above driver seat, and a seam is coming un-done for 2" in center. The soft top has a broken pot metal hinge (see close up pic) and is missing one long spear piece. The top material needs replaced due to age. The tire on pass front goes down in 1 hour, other 3 hold air for loading. Spare tire in truck, w/ extra carb and some misc parts. The driver door hangs up on rear fender edge, so cannot open it all the way now. Driver door is missing a small stainless spear. I see an extra center dash stainless bezel (around radio area). Original tattered carpet is there. It has a HURST shifter and I don't believe hole in floor was cut larger...just the bigger boot was screwed down over original opening. No power steering, no power brakes, no AC. I see after market gauges below dash. There is NO ignition switch and hence no key. There is a key in trunk lock that works. There is NO jack in trunk. Car is in Encampment, WY 82325 (just 90 mi west of Laramie and 40 mi s of I 80) and you are welcome to come get it w/ your trailer. I can deliver for a fee if not too far away.
