 Does it still have the "Power Brake" pedal pad? Condition of the front turn signal housings? 4 bbl carb/intake? Thanks.

  Being a Skylark, it most likely is a column shift car.  Also if the engine is original, it is a 300, not a nail head.

If you look closely at the 1st pic, you can see the end of the column shifter.

 Yep, enlarged the picture and I can see that, also no dash pad.  But wait, re manufactured dash pads are now available.

Hi Loren. its has some good wheel well molding, but if the chassis & body are not too rotted it could be a good project car or donor body, he needs to post more info and photos. No room at my garage !    Tony

  :hello:   Hi Tony !

 I concur, counted 3 of the four moldings, but look good. Typical rust in right rear quarter, but looks to be repairable. I don't need any more projects either.

I might be interested in the drivers door reveal molding. Assume the steering wheel is rough?

In line for the driver's door mirror and "welt cord, windlace, pinch moulding" that surounds the inner door/body frame.
