[NorCam]

Engine has been out and was painted when freshened about 4-5 years ago. I don't believe the transmission has ever been out and has not been repainted since. There are remnants of orange paint along the lower bolt holes and a little along the upper flange which I suspect is factory paint. I'm sure there was more applied 50 years ago but much of what would have been there...looks to have worn or flaked off over time. I have not cleaned it but cannot say what the previous owner may have done. FWIW it has a 621 bell in it and I'm not sure if that's another thing with late cars, but it's looking like it's been mated with the original transmission for quite some time if not since it left Norwood? Some better pictures of the bell are being added to show how I got it.
