Great!
Had time to get it up on the lift today to do some inspecting.
The Good: Engine and Trans in excellent condition, rebuilt, and I verified original to the car per the pics. Brake system all good. Dash gauges restored. Front grill, bumper, headlight and taillight bezels and trim all in very good condition.
The Bad (but expected, was represented honestly): Needs trunk floor plus misc other metal work, some suspension work, and LOTS of body work, including on the quarters, front fenders questionable
The (somewhat) unexpected: A Pillars need closer inspection, will need some rust repair as will the top, not sure how extensive just yet (vinyl top car but has been removed)
Question: per the pic of the K frame, on the front of the frame on each side there is some metal bolted to the frame but appears broken off on each side - what is this?
Possibly remains of sway bar brackets. Does your lower control arms have sway bar tabs?
Didn't notice, I'll look when I go back to the shop. Would this have been aftermarket?

No, should be factory... looks like someone cut the rubber bushing retainer straps off and left the base plate.
66-69 sway bar brackets bolt to the front of the K frame from the factory. There are also aftermarket ones that do too. I don't have a a great picture of one, but here's the best I can do on a sway bar.
Ah, makes sense, thanks Jerry!
Looks like replacing this will be in the future. Thanks much
