The L79 (327/350HP) was not available with an auto. So, it has to be hte 300 hp motor. Are your valve covers orange?

Nope, they are changed to a set of M/T chrome covers... But the HO engine is just the base 300 HP engine, right?

It has a set of camel hump heads (3917291) on it. Will these be damaged if the PO has been driving the car on leadfree gas?

When i hear 'barn find', i think of a car that has been in a old, leaky, dirt floor barn for years and years, with alot of neglect.
This car seems to me in much better condition to be considered a barn find.
Survivor sounds a little better, but thats just my opinion.
