Some more pictures....... The car was originally sold from the south (Huffstatler Chevrolet in Leeds Alabama) and had an amazingly clean and rust free chassis when Dad got it back in 1976. It has remained in good shape and just needs a thorough cleaning. The car was repainted around the 2012 timeframe. The paint is way better than when Dad sold the car in 2004 (it needed paint then) but probably a 7 out of 10 so definitely not perfect. I believe the paint in the door jambs to still be original based on my recollection of when Dad had it and what I saw this weekend. When Dad bought the car it had a CE block in it but all of the peripheral components where still original to the car. Around 1982 he found a correctly dated block and had it stamped. Knowing what we do now he should have probably left the CE block in there but we can't go back and it is what it is. Not going to hide the truth. He also swapped out the differential with a 3.55 posi (originally a 3.36 open). I did not check the diff codes but I don't believe any of the subsequent owners changed that. The carb that is on it is a later service replacement 3810, so I will need to source a February dated 3810 if anybody has one in their stash. Dad added the tele column and that is still there today. The seller just spent about $21k on maintenance of various mechanical and cosmetic items (brakes, A/C, fluids, power steering repairs, new carpet, paint correction, weatherstrips, and other misc. items) so other than the general clean up and going through the car to see what might not work I don't think I will have a huge list, but time will tell. There are a few more reproduction items on the car than I would like but I can look for originals and swap them out as time goes on. The seller drove the car frequently in Florida which is probably a good thing as he kept it maintained as a result.
