Yes, it was a matching numbers L75 car when I bought it. I miscommunicated with a local engine shop and the block was decked in 1986. The engine numbers are gone but it's the original engine/heads/intake & trans. It's a Nov, 1964 built car. I have a spare block with virgin pad that has a late summer '64 casting date. The frame kickups started to show the typical Midwestern rust, so in 2000 I pulled the body off & shipped the frame to Michigan for restoration. I should say "rejuvenation" -- the Michigan folks did a very nice restoration but when I got it back I rebuilt the suspension using things like MOOG ball joints with threaded, not riveted fasteners -- stuff like that. The suspension is stock except for stiffer front and rear springs and sway bars & KYB shocks. The inside of the right front fender suggests that the front fiberglass was repaired by somebody before I bought the car.
What's good: everything works except the odometer -- even the radio. I've put maybe 5000 miles on the car since doing the frame work. It runs 3:08 gears and is a nice highway driver. The engine is strong. I'm running a different-type AFB carb but I have a restored 3721 to throw in. DeWitts repro radiator.
What it needs: the paint is a "10 footer". It could use a paint job and interior carpet. The transmission is starting to complain a bit on the 2nd-3rd upshift. The transmission has a slow oil leak. The wiring harness firewall connection has one pin that got hot ages ago and melted the connector's plastic a bit - the connection is now a little iffy.
No surprises with this car. I want the buyer to enjoy it as much as I have! I hate to sell it.
