Ok, I'm waiting, where's the sheet and the extra little ditty back there?

 

[detmatt]

Floors are spotless!

 

[mdh157]

some generic shots of the rear seats...the backrest had 2 sheets in it...well, sort of, i'll explain in the next set of pics

 

[mdh157]

broadcast sheet for the car, in decent shape for sitting in a conv for 43 years

this sheet was also in there, the L6X9 is the interior code for this car

this is the other side of that sheet, note the odd info written on it, must be notes of some type

this is a close-up of that second sheet, no idea what that means

 

[mdh157]

same pics as hte first set exc with the top down

 

[mdh157]

That's all the pics. It took abt 45 minutes to get the key, but only because one of the backrest screws was stripped and it took awhile to get it out.

Also, she had her maiden voyage right after i took them, went for a 6-7 mile ride. the weather was abt perfect and she road/drove really nice. Car has typical 440 power, I love it! I frickin love it. Only issue noted was the stalling, which only seems to happen when you are going real slow on a turn...once you step on the gas she wants to konk out.....choke maybe? Def not a fuel issue, something with the carb. it does not happen and any speed over 10-12 mph and it seems decent when you are stopped at a light or stop sign, i had no problems then. it also was a operating temp so it wasn't a cold or hot issue. Brakes are excellent too, much better than the all drum grabbing action!

Good news boys..........I am keeping this car!

Back on topic kind of - is there no remote trunk release?

nope......it's manual only, it doesn't have that option. But the inside of the glove box where the button would be is gorgeous!

damn straight........of course nobody will ever believe this car came from michigan

 

[detmatt]

Who's the little person standing on top of the drivers door?

that second sheet is pretty unusual, what does it say after probable dupe?

it says 'pull', and that is my youngest son who insisted on hanging out, wanting to sit in the car and wanted to go with me for the ride so I had to put the booster seat in it. Guess i'd better not complain, i may have another car guy in the fam, and he is only 6!
