BODY: The body appears to be very straight and solid. It fits together nicely with proper gaps, etc. Chrome is very nice, windows are very nice. Some flaws in the paint. I took photos of the worst areas They should be the last 4 photos. The trim tag shows the paint #819D (Matador Red/India Ivory) and the interior #697 (Black/Red). So the car is painted the factory colors. Something is rattling in the rear. I think the tailgate needs adjusting.
ENGINE: I tried to read the stamp on the engine. I think it is 1227FC The FC means V8, 4 Barrel, Powerglide. When the car was restored years ago, the front power disc brakes were added which includes a double master cylinder. It's better and safer than original. But, if you plan to restore and take it back to original, the drum brake parts are included. It starts easily, doesn't smoke or make any unusual noises, however there is a slight exhaust leak that is noticeable when it is driven.
INTERIOR: All dash gauges and lights work as they should. Aftermarket radio doesn't work and I don't think the clock works. I haven't looked at either. Seats have been recovered in the original style and color. Covers are a little loose and seats are a little soft.
TIRES: New tires are Classic Radials WSW. They have about 100 miles or less on them.
