Let's see.

Original V8 Belvedere built at the Evansville plant, therefor no data plate on the car.

Options:
Dual outside deluxe mirrors
Front valance and rims are the wrong color
V8 was an option too
Sport deck
Wrong interior
Heater
Original screws to hold the door panels :lol:
Engine painted wrong color, block must be silver and air cleaner + valve covers red
Just for the purist, car was originally bittersweet and lose those fender skirts :mrgreen: also exhausts are wrong

Wow! Ripped that one apart. But you are right if you are going for a Concours car there is a lot of errors but still looks like a decent runner for most. Price is a little high but there is always someone out there who would treasure it.


Should be a nice addition to someone's garage.... :P

Matthew - I have a concern about the dual exhaust routing. I don't think mine is right, do you have pictures of the correct routing of pipes starting at the ex. manifold.

Dick, you can see the dual exhausts in the shop manual.
I noticed on this one that the pipes are going straight towards the rear after the rear axle. They should go up a little bit on the tips should bend down and they should not be seen
