The block in the car was decked, so no stamps. The original block is supposed to be coming out of the garage in the near future. It will fun to see the old monster up and running again.

My friend put one of those fuzzy T handles in his Mach 1 in the early 70s. We thought it was the coolest thing back in the day.

If that is going for restoration I would leave those Raceway stickers on the glass

This is a great find. I would leave it alone and just get it driveable.

Very cool! Has the car been repainted? How about the blacked out tail panel...does it look original?

All the maroon paint and the tail panel black appear to be factory applied. Some checking here and there. It appears that the original owner did some wierd customizing by tryng to fill the gap between the hood vent inserts and the hood - the black stripe section on the hood covers that area.
