Thank you for the welcome guys! It was originally a red 350 H.O. car with A/C with deluxe interior, I have the PHS documents from the owner. It was in a barn for 20 years. It must have been pretty dry in there because the rust is minimal and really I am just flaking off old underbody paint. Although it was an A/C car not sure why the x-panels, lower filler panels are missing and masticated rubber, but I have the parts now.

It still has the original M21 which was rebuilt about 2k miles ago. The motor is from a 1970 GTO 455 and was also rebuilt at the same time. 1970 was the only high compression year of the 455 which makes it somewhat rare. I need to adjust the idle and timing because the owner could put things together but not great at tuning. It has hooker long tube headers, dual exhaust, no cross-over and no 3rd muffler.







The rear spoiler is molded into the trunk which I think looks ugly, I will change that. The hood was redone by the previous owner, he added the slight cowl to the original hood. I know it's not original but it's not too aggressive, I kind of like it. I have seen much worse cowls that are raised too high.



It did not have power steering before and that was added by the owner before me. It was also painted viper blue pearl. I think that color compliments the white H.O. stripes and interior pretty well.

There are still many things that need adjustment but I want to have it ready to be driven (at least by my standard) and fix things along the way. I don't want to drive it without doing the underbody because I don't want to worsen the condition as I drive, so I'm working on the essentials. Especially since I think I'm lucky to have not much rust, so I'm using it as an opportunity to make the job easier instead of driving it until it really needs to get addressed and the job would become much worse.

Drivers window does not roll all the way up, 1/2 inch short so I will fix that.

I replaced the gas tank and sending unit before I stored it for the winter as it leaked gas when I filled it to the top from the welds on the metal lines coming out of the sending unit going bad. Here is a pic of that




The differential (Moser 12-bolt muscle pak), although almost brand new, is leaking from the gasket and the previous owner does not know which posi unit is in there, and each posi has its own oil, some need additive, some don't, some synthetic, some not. I already changed it out and assumed it was an eaton but now that the gasket itself is leaking I get to take the cover off and identify which posi it really is. I shouldn't have changed the diff fluid to begin with.
