Says it’s powered by a MT code 401. Isn’t that a 1966 engine ?

If it is truly an MT code engine, then yes that is a 66 engine.  Looks like the dash and interior were done in a bright red instead of the dark metallic red that was used in 65.

Don’t think the dash pad was replaced. It’s got cracks in it but is the correct color. The dash looks strange in that brighter red.

Hello,

I went and looked at this car, the rear quarters are peeling away from the car, there is bondo in the doors. The most disappointing things were the body mounts in the rear passenger side were rotted off and where the wheel well is in the trunk on passenger side was stuffed with newspaper and fiberglass.

I was extremely disappointed after talking to the guy for a few day on how perfect the car was.


Sorry for the feedback but if it helps.  The car is not all bad but you will have work to do
The interior is also the wrong color

Sorry to hear the car was in such poor condition, but thanks very much for the detailed report!  :hello2:  There is no substitute for someone actually poking around to see that is the condition of the car.

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:
