Thanks for the comments guys, for now I plan to look everything over to make sure everything is in working order. It seems it is, but I want to pull the drums to see the brakes, they guys said they are new pads but I want to do some deeper inspection on the car to make sure everything is solid that I physically can’t see. I am getting the title transferred this weekend and hopefully the antique plate will be here within 1-2 weeks as well. It will be nice to have at least once car that won’t need inspection
My initial plans are just to clean it up ya know wax, spit shine interior and motor. Then enjoy it over the summer, if I sell some of my other parts I plan to get 5 Spoke Chrome Empi’s and new tires. The rims on it now are not perfect in fact I think they are the originals as well. Tires are getting dry rotted around the valve stems too. So if anything this year will be about enjoyment and maybe new rims and tires, and any little replacement trinkets I find at some local shows.
I really do not plan to show it, but I will probably take it to some local GTGs or shows. I mainly bought it to zip around town on the weekends, take it for Ice Cream or the drive-ins.
Next year or perhaps over the winter if I work out this deal, I may have the paint redone. Same colors want to keep the OEM colors but make the body perfect. Then lastly the seats, headliner, carpet would be replaced. Same deal keeping it OEM but just NOS parts, my Dad would do the interior.
Heat – Yeah it has the working heater channels and controls, but the tubes are off the back. I doubt I ever will use the heat since it’s strictly a summer car.
