Awesome score! From the pic's interior looks like it just needs a good clean up.

Big Joe, it appears that you have found a diamond in the rough. A complete detail job is in order and some elbow grease will do wonders. Thanks from the Pacific Northwest, for bringing your find too the group.

Thanks for all the welcomes. Here are my updates since I brought her home approx 2 weeks ago. Cleaned out a rodent nest that was “sharing “ my engine compartment, luckily no eaten wires. Pulled all the plugs and filled all the cylinders with MMO. Over the course of 2 days I hand rotated the engine to let the MMO do it’s job. Installed new plugs, changed oil, filter and another quart of MMO in the crankcase. Removed both float bowels from the Holley 600 and cleaned them. Hooked up a 5 gallon gas tank via siphon to carb, installed new battery and mechanical oil pressure gauge and within 2 engine revolutions, she fired up. Boy was I smiling! She rattled and shook until the lifters pumped up and had 40 plus psi oil pressure at idle. Thanks again for all the welcomes and here’s a few more pics

Love the hood treatment.......Looks pretty solid in the pictures......What are your plans?

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for reply. She’s solid. Immediate plans are get her running, which has happened and a few drives around the neighborhood . Next is a few electrical issues, inspect brake system, tires, water pump leaking, radiator, etc. Basically make her road worthy and then paint and interior.
