Seller's notes: "The car is in excellent condition as the pictures will attest. It does have a few small items that need attention to complete the restoration. The trunk lid will not stay up. New trunk torsion bars were installed during painting using the correct 1/4 inch rod on the right side however the rod appears to have slipped of the rear trunk hinge clip. All parts are there including extra set of torsion rods. Simple repair ran out of time. The car was not driven for approximately 4 months prior to being purchased and has developed a small oil leak that appears to be getting better the more I drive it. I am not aware of any rust and I do not find any bondo on any of the fender wells or doors. The car has factory A/C the low speed on the blower does not work the middle and high speeds work fine. The heater needs a new heater core,about $60, with the blower working it should not be much of an expense for the repair.Needs parking brake cable. Not aware of any leaks,have not had the car in the rain"

I believe the engine to be the factory original however I cannot guarantee it.   The A/C compressor bracket covers one of the engine codes and the second one is low on the block near the timing mark and covered with paint and I cannot read it.  

This is a beautiful example of a 70s era big block muscle car with the major expenses of restoration having been completed.   It starts easily. runs smooth. shifts very well. does not smoke. sounds great and stops straight.    It is however a 36 year old car and therefore not 100% perfect.   If you are looking for a perfect car you are in the wrong price range.    Please feel free to ask any questions regarding the car.
