Introducing Project "Scabra Tulitque"

According to the fender tag, she was produced in April of 1965 with few options. Equipment per tag: 273 V-8 automatic w/center console, convertible white top, body in light blue, medium blue metallic upper door panels, and blue premium vinyl bucket seats; heater with defroster and a manual driver's side mirror, retractable seat belts front/rear. No power top, no power brakes, no power steering, no radio. Miraculously, both tail lights are in good shape. Why is the bumper jack always missing?

Previous owner must have installed a radio/antennas (missing) based on the remaining evidence of the installation of dual rear radio antenna bases/cables. Looking at the photo of the 7 1/4 differential cover, I see for the first time today an Auto Recycler yellow marker notation "1974." In the glove compartment we find a six month guarantee for work performed on the Torqueflite 904, and the steering wheel is aftermarket. I replaced the master cylinder. The vehicle does sport wheel moulding (one missing) and baby moon hubcaps and trim rings.
