Series of 3 at top: Previous owner had car in this barn for 12 years, he
bought it in this condition, did no work to it. Original color is red, but
has a thick primer coat on top of paint. Very little flash rust on frame, no
rust on body, floorboards, etc. 52,000 miles. Original seats and interior in
very good condition. Engine block in place, head, pistons, etc. removed, all
measurements indicate original condition.

Current status of body off frame: Good progress made, motor and transmission
pulled out on first weekend, the boy and I devised a way to lift the body
off of the frame with one engine hoist operator and one spotter. Only one
bolt (body to frame, above leaf spring, LH side) broken in complete teardown
of body and frame.
Here is what she will look like from behind very soon...
