Looks nice enough on the outside to be a survivor car.  I wonder what the interior looks like and the drive train?

Thanks for sharing.

I just got back from looking at it. It is at a friends shop Jeff Yergovich of R+A Motorsports to get it running. The interior is pretty nice .427 replacement engine is crusty. It had the hang on air system the same as was recently discussed in a thread http://www.saacforum.com/index.php?topic=9429.0      . The hang on unit will not be put back on and the hole in the center of the firewall for the hang on AC refrigerant lines will be repaired before the 428 GT500 engine is installed.The owners intent is to get it running and  road worthy without doing anything cosmetic other then that firewall repair. Fuller exhaust, service brake system ,new gas tank ,steering box rebuilt, rebuild idler arm ,take off the after market traction bars ,replace hurst shifter,replace 427 engine with factory type 67 GT500 version,recore radiator,bias ply speedways(mistake IMO) . etc.,etc. etc.
