Runs solid, handles great.
Treated this as a daily driver, would drive it weekly but over the last four years it has barely seen the road and should be sold so she can see the road more.
Once the seats are upholstered the car is ready for driving, although the speedometer cable should be done soon for proper mileage and speed.
Recently had carpeting work done, not professionally done work, but looks fresh and clean.
Hog troughs appear in good shape.Appears previous owner cleaned them out and oiled them to keep from rusting out.
Car was garage stored during long winters here and did not see salt or snow ever.
Includes original registration in frame, and a very useful laminated chart for maintenance such as timings, proper oil, settings for spark.
Of note is that the brake calipers were ground down a bit to fit 14 inch Cragar rims on properly.Nothing wrong, they are huge steel Calipers and structurally sound.
Paint is considered rated as good.
Chrome is nice, but front center bumper could use a re-chrome.
Headliner is solid and good with only a few imperfections.
Gauges all work except clock.
Spare tire appears well used.

Needs:
This list is everything I believe to be wrong with the vehicle, no matter how small.
Front seats are bare, must be upholstered, seats metal repaired solid, but still needs upholstery work done.
New spring for automatic throttle.Will stick occasionally based on whether or how recent was driven.

Speedometer cable.Broke and had to be cut out about 40 miles ago.Cable can be ordered.
Timing checked, under full load will occasionally "dieseling" noise from flooding.Rarely notice, only under high acceleration.
Door seals at top were replaced by previous owner with generic material.Will leak in rain or while washing car if care is not taken.
