Awesome car, and great caretaking. And a Beautiful assembly line air filter, with correct 65-E68 large outlined-font embossed number and diagonal soldered mesh!!

L79, Smog, and TI - gets to be a pretty small number I bet.

Amazing car - great job cleaning it up. Thanks for sharing.

This group of pix takes my breath away...

Looking at this car never gets old!

Thanks! Yeah, Pretty amazing its survived this long.

I've taken so many pictures (2500 or so) but feel like I still haven't taken enough.

So many parts that are just specific to these cars in general. I've lean a lot from another member here that has really taken the time to help verify everything on the car is indeed correct and original. (clnovaparts ,Doug Mattew) Doug has been beyond helpful. You talk about tooling up for specific emissions parts and then you have 1st and 2nd design parts that they had to re-tool for also. Parts on early built cars are different from later built cars which make some of these parts very rare.

We've tried very hard not to lose any of the cars originality or patina. It was very nerve racking rebuilding the water pump as I had never done one before but it went well and I think anyone would be hard pressed to really notice we R&I it. I documented rebuilding it also if anyone wants to see pictures. Same with the fuel pump I was very careful in removing it to the point I was able to save the original fuel pump mounting plate gasket in one piece.

Hard to believe that it still all intact. Thanks!

HI Chris, Thank you. I'll post up some pictures a little later

Here you go Chris.
