I’ve gotten a few questions already******. No rust or rot at all ****original paint****** no parts missing from under the hood - I have those******* no interior parts missing - back seat was removed to work on top******** convertible top pistons we’re just unpinned*******. The motor was rebuilt and put back in car - and runsThis gets to why the trans was removed. It’s all pretty simple to understand !!

The one thing that I did not do with regret was to rebuild the transmissionSo after all the work - currently trans is out and needs to be gone throughTires need to be replacedExhaust should be replaced or repaired it’s originalConvertible top is original and very nice other then back windowTop did not open had to jump out relays to unlock and open. Needs relaysQuarter panel on passenger side needs repair from hitting garage door openingFactory undercoat and only spot on car see pic is smaller then my pinkyDoes have paint loss and some surface rustBut truly a great survivor fir a t bird guy
