One more. This one shows a view of the unprotected metal of the parking brake mechanism which is usually always at least surface rusted.

Thanks again for the replies

P-1 cowl stamp..Nice! Must be a Tarrytown car I can see better the condition of the paint by that picture too. Does the car have any original docs? I'm curious where it was sold originally. Amazing condition for a car from Jersey.

GOOD FOR YOU! My 67 rides like a dream. I really enjoy rolling down the highway with the 427 and 2.73 gears.... Maybe one day I can see it. I'm Exit 4!!!

It all depends on how they were used and cared for. I have 2 lifelong Jersey cars that are both completely rust free. (and they're 5 years older than the topic SS396).
I have a '69 El Camino that grew up in GA and AL. It's had floor pans and the fenders and quarters are bubbling.

And as far as black paint is concerned, IF it had been repainted it would NOT look as black and deep as it does now. Since the '80s, no one has made a black paint as BLACK as the factories used back then. I've had my old beater, original paint black car next to a fresh $60K black paint job, and that car looks brownish-gray compared to mine.

This paint is 47 years old. If I had it repainted, it wouldn't look this good.

Not all Jersey cars are beat up rusted up junk. I found this car(attach) in Sayreville NJ. It is better than ANY Arizona car!

Mike,

just follow Bruce's tutorial. It's a sticky somewhere on this site. If I can do it, I guarantee you can do it.
