Classic Car Overview
I believe I am the third owner and the 43535 miles on the odometer appear original. I purchased the car from the second owner outside of Indianapolis where it was sold new in 1969 and I have the original dealer supplied brochures and handbook. The previous owner put only 3000 miles on the car in 25 years of ownership. Engine looks have never have been removed from the car and still has factory stickers etc.. Interior is all original and in excellent shape and the car still appears to have original spare tyre in the trunk (see photo). There are original factory QC markings remaining throughout the car.
I've recently:
Fitted new correct size whitewall tyres,
Fitted a complete new twin exhaust system and sports mufflers (factory exhaust was rusted),
Rebuilt the original Autolite 2100 carburettor,
Replaced points, condenser and tuned engine correctly,
Flushed and changed fluids, adjusted brakes,
Compression tested engine and was healthy and even across all cylinders,
FMX changes smoothly and correctly.
Other things I have noted, but not corrected are:
Disconnected heater hose (previous owner advised of leak in heater core),
Factory air conditioning system functions smoothly, vacuum operated vents all work correctly, but the AC doesn't blow cold. Will likely need new seals and re-gas.
Minor corrosion blisters under the rear two corners of the original vinyl roof (see photos). I can see no other rust in the vehicle (other than minor surface rust on under carriage), it is very clean.
Some minor scratches in the paint on one door and front driver's side fender. I believe the respray was done around 20 years ago and has held up very well (see photos).
A couple of minor dents on the chrome trim on the front grille that need to be massaged out (see photos).
