Fabulous!
Get that thing road-ready with new lube, fluids gaskets & seals and then drive it for about 10,000 miles. It'll still be low-mileage!!!
Parts I seek:
driver doorpanel, 65 Sport Fury, prefer black, needs to be 7-8 on 10 scale, might buy set
16" x 6" Dodge truck wheel(s), from early 70s?, takes 9" dogdish - need for a research job so cheaper is better.
69-73 C-body caliper brackets and/or splashields
Send a PM.

Do you have any undrhood pics? I'm restoring a 68 and looking for underhood details. Markings, stamps paint marks inspections markings. If you have any good underhood pics i'd love to see them. Very cool car.
I'll second that! Stuck or not, that engine could offer some nice factory details that the first repaint performed will ruin forever. If you remove the engine please take TONS of pics of every greasey nook and cranny, THEN clean it, then do the same thing again to get details under the grease. Keep in mind that the smallest details are the least known, example: We all know what the valve covers looked like, but what was the original finish on the attaching hardware? What head markings are on all of the engine attaching bolts? Any paint or grease pencil markings on the engine parts? That's the kind of detail we need from survivors like that.
Awesome find! I hope you plan on leaving it basically stock, that's not a car I'd go nuts on with modifications, it's super cool just as it is, original wheels and all!
