the story on the car, is that it's sat since 1982 supposedly in a barn or some sort of covered area, the original owner passed, and a close friend of his bought it, sent it to a body shop, where it has sat for 3 years. i can say for sure that the car has not sat outside of this body shop long, as i passed it may times and never saw the car. anyway and they half way slicked it out and threw some cheap paint on the car, just to preserve it the floors and trunk are pretty solid. the battery box is pretty weak and looks fairly thin/rotten. there quarters are pretty solid, i can see some not so good filler work in the front rocker at the joint by the fender, and around the turn signals. and the front of the hood where the hinges bolt on, is pretty rusty. truth is, i think the car is pretty solid, but there's been shotty body repair done to it. i'll try and go over it and document the filler and rust. it's not a total rot box. i have all the documentation where the car was bought new in jackson ms.. so it is a southern car. seats have been reupholstered, and look good, and are done as factory. but the seats are out, and the interior will need a lot of attention. the motor was locked up from sitting. so it was pulled and taken apart. the car came with the motor in pieces, i'm sure there are things missing. i'm guessing the best bet would be to find another long block to build. but i think it's mostly there. again, sorry for the lack of good details and pictures, i will try and get the important pictures and a good idea of what parts are there. the transmission is in the car, it is an overdrive car. i do have a clear ms title in hand.
i will try to get pictures of the seats and the motor parts tomorrow, as they are at a separate location.
