- The previous owner had installed an aftermarket heater in the car and it is still in place. Thus explaining all the hose connections on the engine for water feed and return to the heater.

- I have more pictures available upon request of most any area you wish to see. The car presents a solid platform for a complete restoration or just bringing it up to a daily driver condition. In my opinion, the engine is due for an overhaul. I pulled a couple lifters and they are pitted indicating that the camshaft is probably seeing similar wear. A complete brake job is in order as well.
