Additional notes:
Model: One eBay watcher kindly pointed out that the car is a Deluxe Model. He could tell by the style of the grill.
Running condition: The 283 motor is installed and was operational many years ago when it was installed. However, it is not running now and hasn't been operated in 10+ years. My understanding is it was running until there was a problem with the fuel pump and rust in the fuel line 10+ years ago, at which time the car was put into storage.
Rust: There is some rust in the very lowest portions of the car. The is rust-through on the drip rails, but only near the lower/rear ends. The tool well in the trunk is about 50% missing. There is some minor rust-through along the bottoms of the quarter-panels (next to the back jump seats). The floors are original and are in good shape. As far as I can tell, there are no patch panels.
Seats: The car has the original seats -- front and rear. The front is a split seat that folds forward to allow access to the rear jump seats, which each face toward the center of the vehicle. You can see the general condition of the interior in the photos.
It's definitely a project car that needs the right person to take on and bring it back to life.
