In my quest for a really nice 69 driver to morph in to a mild PT machine I have come across this car. My wife and I are still trying to decide if its the right car for us (she is not sure about the interior) but I am thinking about picking it up either way and either keeping it do mild suspension mods and tires and wheels or flip it put the $$ made toward mods that we want to do to the one we will for sure keep.
I am going to be extra picky in my critique of the car so you have a true idea. To most people this is a show car.
I am told it’s an original car. It has power windows, AM/FM, tilt,fold down rear seat and a is a RS/SS 350 car. Original block is gone. The car was restored 13 years ago and has less the 5K miles driven since. 2 hoods go with the car the original and the cowl hood on it now. Both are painted.
Close inspection
Paint is nice inside and out never been cut or buffed well above driver quality but not perfection show. Car was apart when painted. Original 1/4s still on the car rear body was replaced could have done a little better job welding but I’m getting picky. There is minor rust bubbling all around the trim of the vinyl top and a very small rust spot low on one of the 1/4's close to where the 1/4 and outer wheel house meet.
The interior is very nice not much to pick on here. 134a a/c cools ok
The engine sounds good. The carb and air cleaner long gone. Could use detail and a little TLC but nothing major.
Under the car is the only place where they go a little lazy. looks to be original floors untouched. The trunk area there several spots where they just wiped kitty hair with I’m sure covered some rust spots. Its probably needs a trunk floor if I started digging around. Not anything that needs immediate attention
