The Car finally got here today! This will likely be the the restoration thread even though the full blown work won't start until this coming winter. Here's a couple shots of the car. I only had an hour after I got it home to dig in. Over-all i'm very happy with the car. It is always good to see a great older Mopar in very good condition with all the parts there!!!
I was happy to clean up a few stamp bosses and confirm matching numbers. A few fact about the car.
I'm the 6th owner. It lived most of it's life in California. it has been repainted. I believe the hood has been replaced. the fender tag calls out for "fender turn signal indicators" and they're not there. the dual point dist has been replaced with electronic. the intake and carb has been replaced with dual quads. I have what is supposed to be the orig carb and intake, although the numbers on the carb don't look right and there is no dash pot. The transmission has been replaced. although it was kind of the wild west in the '60's and who knows.
