Your Hemmings ad pictures are no longer available, so now the only picture anyone can see is the one posted here by Revfan. Could you post some, or post another link to some?

Beautiful car! Great driver. Frame off restored approximately 10 years ago prior to purchase by the previous owner (1/1/2004 NC Title date).
At that time the drive train was replaced w/ a 350 crate motor and a 700R4 automatic. The 265 ci engine (casting 3720991, stamp pad 0608980 F56FG), cast iron Powerglide, and drive shaft that came out of the car are included in this sale. Since the first of the year I have driven the car on a trip of 125 miles each way and experienced no oil consumption, overheating, hot starting issues, etc. The car drove great, and got more “thumbs up” than I could keep up with! Car starts easily, idles smoothly, and looks great doing it!
The car has the correct gauges, and all work (except the clock). It has an aftermarket FM/Cassette radio connected to a power antenna that goes up when the radio is turned on. It has a new 15” repro stock style steering wheel for greater ease getting in and out. The 17” wheel that was on the car when I bought it goes with it.
In the past 10 months the car has received a new radiator, battery, brakes, trans seal, plugs, plug wires, & distributor cap. Tires are Coker
2¼” WWW radials w/ good tread. Ready to cruise in style!
Price: $61,500 ono 912-547-6097 Car is located in Savannah, GA

The current engine/transmission were installed when the car was restored in 2003 before the previous owner bought it. I have seen the bottom of the car up on a lift, and I don't think there was any modification made to the frame to fit the 700R4. It's pretty tight, but I didn't see any places where it appeared to be cut.
The car received a new radiator shortly before I bought it, but it has a stand alone cooler located under the passenger seat area. It didn't look like the hoses were pressure rated trans hoses so I replaced them, but it works fine, and the motor runs cool.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!
