I don’t know if this is the original engine and transmission or not. I actually got a lot of records with the car and nothing mentions rebuilds or replacements.

I am only the third owner. 2 owners in Virginia then bought by Unobtanium in New York then sold to me.

Someone has done some work on it previously to get things straightened out.

The sunroof works perfectly and doesn’t leak. It has all new felts/seals and lines. The door seals along with the quarter window seals are new. It has one new rear caliper. It has new carpet and seat upholstery. Plus in the past the thermal reactors and the five bladed fan disappeared. Which is probably why this engine is still kicking along.

On the flip side of that coin it shifts like a tank and the suspension is shot. The rear bushings for the torsion bars are gone. The spring plates look like they have never been removed before. It had a horribly prepped paint job previously that is bubbling up and flaking off (not rust).

So it’s perfect for what I want. It’s not pristine, it’s a middie, so I won’t feel bad about tearing into some future high value restoration candidate. So my son and I will hot rod / outlaw whatever to our liking.
