Wow looks like a wonderful piece to start off with, how do inner rockers look? Cowl, did you do the water test?

and if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for it?
and oh ya i have a v8 but all i did to start it was change the oil, looked good for sitting 25 years, and hooked fuel line to a gas can, not tank in car, and hooked up the coil wire that was in the glove box =D, it ran fine with the exception of rats bedding being blown out of the exhaust.

I went to a birthday party at this farm house in the country with my son. The property was a rental, and all the barns were full of junk that the owner had kept there since who knows when. I called the owner, and it turns out they were about to have an estate sale! I had to match another bid, but because I was a friend of the renter, and promised to give it a loving home, and visitation rights to the P.O. the car was mine. It was luck and determination.

I haven't tested the cowl yet, but the floor panels are solid.
I paid $2K.
I'm probably going to get the gas tank dipped. Any idea how much that costs?
I vacuumed it last night and the interior (P.O. replaced the carpet) looked decent. Front seats have rips, but rear is in good shape. I'll post pics of the interior soon.

Just buy a new tank. Only 100$. The old gas will make your life miserable.

Where are you in VA? If you ever need an extra set of hands.... Im in Lexington. 2k is awesome.
