I'm also working on car #503 right now.  This car is in absolutely amazing condition.  It's is the most original rust-free car I've seen and I've worked on hundreds of them.  Unfortunately, it had a repaint many years ago that is not holding up so I'm getting the car ready to go to paint.  This car is in such original condition, except for some hoses and hose clamps, I thought I would post it in case someone was restoring one and needs to see any original details.  I'd be glad to post any pictures.  This car even has the original water pump.

Wow...

More photos of every thing at every angle please.

 

btw here is 504:

 

Details of throttle hand throttle linkage at pedal and cable routing would be nice to see

Some more photos of it when it was listed on ebay last fall.  Odd mirrors on the fenders.  Did it come with the original seats or the later style shown in the ad photos?  Was the exterior side molding trim just stuck on with adhesive or did it it leave holes in the sheetmetal?

Unfortunately it was cut out here's a picture of what was left. I have a replacement that I'm putting in

Thanks Mike B, I've never seen those pictures.  The seats were original just the covers were wrong.  I was able to find some original seats with the original upholstery and I'll be putting those in.  The side moulding was riveted on.  The mirrors are pretty funky; part of the reason for the paint job.

Here's a few more photos of the car it's going to the body shop tomorrow.

 

What is the black coating inside the left rear quarter panel?  Also wonder why someone painted the rear panel black around the upper license plate mounting points?  Are you going to leave the dealer installed AC in the car or take it back to stock?

Great photos and a beautiful car! Thanks!

The original,  or one of the reproductions Brad had produced?

The one in 503 was the original. Brad used it as the reference for the reproductions he had made.
