Have not touched the engine yet other than taking out the water pump, AC unit, alternator and take out the plugs to put in some deep creep and diesel. It does need a rebuild.
Has not been started since 1988. Have all the engine parts, Radiators, Genuine GS455 Air breather, AC unit is still on there, Genuine Grill and bumper.
Quarter panels where the chromes go were repaired with fiberglass at one time and would recommend to be done with metal patches.
Blue with white vinyl top. Very nice combination.
Very rare Original bench front seats, AC, originally came with 8 track under dash radio from the factory.
Floor boards look great and cleaned up from underneath. Will need new mufflers and pipes. These are corroded.
