Vehicle description
Really nice very straight all original Numbers Matching California car that spent a little time stored in Missouri with Just it"s ass end slightly exposed so very end of car got rusted some but was fixed by a professional welder. Rear bumper and taillight trim is pitted. New Gas tank, tank lip on drivers side was partly replaced along with trunk lid, lip near trunk latch and had tiny spot fixed on inside front corner of rear right quarter panel, had a couple tiny holes around tail lights but everything is now all looking California clean looking like the rest of the car. I got a used original Caliente trunk lid for it that is blue, it had a couple tiny spots on lip that got welded up nicely, it did not have a Comet emblem on it like the original had but I got the original emblem that would need to be drilled out to put on trunk lid back to like the original one was.
It looks to me it"s all original paint and stripes on car, looks like it was never wrecked anywhere. If you can touch up paint to match car on rear would be great. Old paint still has some shine to it. I don"t see patches or puddy anywhere, only funny spot is gas fill door has paint layer flaking off a little like it was touched up but only seems to be right there.
Chromes real nice except all on very back rear-end of it.
Previous owner started painting some of the underneath black in front of the rear end but didn"t do much of it.
Nice glass and trim, I acquired extra back glass and rear side glass for it that goes with it.
Missing? Rear view mirror. Two long horizontal chrome grill strips. Needs a new sending unit for the new gas tank, I was told the match to it was to get a Fairlane 427CID car sending unit but never got it yet.
It has a slight ding in grill and a crease in the hood chrome and it"s missing the two long horizontal chrome strips that go in the middle of the grill.
I even got the original glass bottle and holder for windshield washer fluid.
Dash pad is perfect other than t here"s slight rust dots on medal dash part. I got original keys and holder. Seats are not bad but drivers seats ripped a little. Door panels are nice, previous owner said he replaced the carpet, said it was moldy. Floors, frame everything looks like new from under the car! Mouse hole in head liner above the drivers side sun visor and a seam thread come out, can be sewn back but sill have the hole. One little ding above pass door it is a really straight perfectly lined up panel car like it"s never been apart other than motor and tyranny out right now and supposedly was all rebuilt.
It has a real nice console! The light lens in back is old dry and cracked up. It"s exactly the same as a 66 mustangs console light assy. $45 new. I have five original hubcaps. I got new motor mounts.
All original numbers matching motor! Was told it was all rebuilt and it all looks like new, just pulled oil pan and it has slight rust on big weighted parts of the crank shaft but all metal I see is clean, cylinders pistons look like new! Looking through spark plug holes all look like new in there. Hormonic balancer rubber looks old and cracked. It"s just barely pushed on.
The previous owner was a mechanic and said he rebuilt the C6, 390 motor and the 3.25 locker posi that is also painted like new.
Only has power steering. Drum brakes.
It"s a really nice California all original numbers matching car that just needs TLC, put back together, cleaned up and touched up to have practically a museum piece. May never find one this clean and never been a rusted out cobbled together car of this caliper again?
Some old pictures before and after rust spots were fixed.
I had the original Carburetor rebuilt recently by Holley to just like it came originally! I think I got the original air cleaner also.
Still has the original hood insulation in it and factory writings/markings on back of hood.
I got a lot of boxes of parts, including the motor & tyranny and that"s a lot so you"ll need a truck for the extra parts.
Nice original chrome valve covers.
I have original owners registration tags from new up to 1988, he lived in Fresno Ca. The DSO code was Oakland Ca. Assembly plant was Los Angeles Ca.

About as Original as you"ll ever get not to mention a California car to boot! !
I can help a little to load it up.
I hate to get rid of it but it looks like I"m never going to get to it and it can"t sit around any longer so I hope it gets the TLC asap it needs.
No Reserve! Good luck!
Serious bidders only please since last time listed the winner never paid or anything. Had no buys/solds under his name so if low transactions you better talk to me or get cancelled.
