Not Ranked
MrMustang, This is a good as I can do on the details.
Interior: Red leater and carpet interior (not sure if original, but in good condition); All gauges original except for tach, and water temp; original water temp gauge is in place but does not work; clock is missing (gave to a guy to restore and his shop burned down, I think we got had); Wonderbar AM radio, still works; All original switches and knobs.
Body: Has been repainted, but painted to original paint scheme (venetian red with white coves); all original emblems; white soft top (not tares) and a red hartop (covered in garage); all chrome plating was redone when it was restored ten years ago (some pitting here and there though); couple of small chips in the paint; all lights functional.
Drivetrain: Currently does not have the original 283 installed (have it in the garage, rebuilt and ready to go); Installed is a rebuilt 283 with a 4brl Rochester carb; 4 speed manual tranny; not sure of the exact rear end ratio but I know it is geared a little shorter for acceleration; complete frame off drivetrain restoration 10 years (5,000 miles) ago; rebuilt to be a driver, not a show piece; runs, drives great; does not overheat, even in traffic in humid summer weather; a little play in the steering system (worn bushings I assume).
That's all I can come up with now, please reply and I will ask my dad if there are any questions I don't know.
