1969 396 Indy Pace car,L78,M22.

Does the car need some cleanup and restoration? I can't remember well enough what the car and body were like but I remember the L78 and all the gas/oil sitting on the intake manifold and a nasty engine compartment. Send me some pictures when you get them. I'll send you a couple of pictures of my JL8 stripped down to bare metal.

The car is as you saw it in 1985. Although the engine compartment is dirty, no one ever took a can of spray paint to dress it up...all the chalk marks and stamping are very visible and all the components are original to the car. The car was rust free when you saw it, but the Fl. humidity caused some minor rust. In thirty two years of ownership he put less than 3k miles, although he did drive it from Pa. down to Fl. in 1987 and got 6mpg. (410 gears M21 trans)

Cool car, but I still can't believe he was asking $75K back in 85. I'll have to remind my dad about that car and see if he remembers.
