Looks like a great "leave it alone car". Great find and an even better acquisition, congratulations. Like the color and love the stamp. I like the lack of side pipes and bolt on wheels even more.

Incredible find. Please campaign the car round so we all can learn from it. Also, I hope that's not a shared garage. I wouldn't leave it anywhere where other people may have access to it, damage it, etc.....Awesome find. ARA. NCRS Bowtie, BG Survivor, Benchmark, etc. Engage a knowledgeable person/judge whom can guide you through the preparation of the car and the PRESERVATION of it too. That's AWESOME. ARA

I also have an unrestored 67 435. The sense I have gotten in recent years is that unrestored 435s are more valuable in the market than even the perfectly restored cars given their rarity. I was told by someone heavily involved with these cars that there are only about 15 left that could be benchmark or 4 bowtie/top flight quality. One piece of advice - do NOT polish the paint. Just clean and wax it. The paint is likely to be very thin in spots. But don't be afraid to drive it. Any other documentation besides the tank sticker? Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions. Good luck with the car!
