Original engine, 327/250hp, later 62 T10 4 speed transmission. The car was built apx Sept 6, 1961. Prior owner of 35 years. I have the 1972 clear title. Engine runs and car moves but is not roadworthy. Frame has issues. Rear crossmember and area in front of left rear wheel rough. Good news is a beautiful 1962 frame is included with the project. It has it's complete rear axle and springs included. Also included is a beautiful drum to drum front crossmember I bought from a resto-mod donor.

Chrome bumpers good, front bumpers stored under a bed for 35 years. Body has had white latex paint applied over the years by the prior owner. Original white lacquer underneath a few spots I cleaned off. Body appears never hit, but has some stress cracks at several bonding seams.

Included is a collection of new, nos, and used parts to complete the project.I will have a detailed list later, but some of the parts included are: (See list Below)
