Great suggestions all! Even though it's inside the garage, there is evidence (bird poop) that it may have sat outside for an unknown amount of time. Though I doubt it, it may be worth looking for the typical rust problems on this car. It'd be nice to know, right up front. This could be a very cool project if the OP is up to snuff with tools and experience and/or is willing to learn.

I will have pictures and know more this weekend. My brother is going to check it out in person as I live elsewhere. Thank you all for the advice, I’m excited to learn the story of this car and get it back on the road!

Ive seen cars stored indoors for a long period that had a ton of bird poop from birds flying in, sitting in the same spot and flying out day after day. So, hopefully it was always inside as the OP thinks.

Check the top of your fuel tank to see if the build sheet is still in place (ie, tank sticker). It is a piece of paper that the assembly line put in place showing all the options on the car and is a very desirable piece of documentation to have. You should be able to see it on top of the gas tank through the fuel fill lid by lowering the rubber grommet with your fingers and a flashlight. Usually on the drivers side but i have also seen them on the passenger side.

I like those period correct wheels. I've never seen that style before.

Awesome "barn find" even though you inherited it. Keep us up to date and post those pictures. Google restoration guides and something might come up. Also check out all the "stickies" at the beginning of this forum.
