Any chance you have an L-48 engine and can post some pictures of that as well? What a beautiful car.

Thank you Red, I got your PM and went to get the other pictures, very nice indeed. I have requested a sample of the loop carpeting and I can see by your pictures that my door panels and my carpet are way off in color. I can and will correct all that. Is your original to the car or did you replace any of the interior? If a replacement, which supplier did you use for panels, carpet, storage, seat covers please. I love your car.
Thank you for sharing.

Wow, how cool is that. Thank you for your help, you have inspired me with your original beauty and I will try to do the car justice when I bring her back. Thank you again.

The green on green looks better than it sounds like it would. Nice.

Is it all original including the paint? A lot of car/vette collectors are valuing a totally original example much higher than a total resto, even if it's not original show room ready.
I'm sure you already know this but my 2 cents. A Great car and best of luck either way

I appreciate the comments. I will be assessing the car top to bottom, front to back and up on the lift to make sure I know what is stock, and what is not. If the car is totally or mostly original and frame is in good condition throughout then I won't pull the body off the frame. I will want to clean in the nooks and crannies though, so the tank sticker is still a prize I would like to locate. I have spoken to Adam at Adam's and I may be taking the car to the Fall Carlisle show for his team to see what they can do with the painted surfaces on the car. But first things first. I have to get the car delivered to my house first.
Thanks for the advice, it is always welcomed.
