The most common mistake people make with survivors is to "improve" and repaint the engines and under hood areas. Thank you Scott. To be honest I don't even wanna clean the compartment. I'm gonna put a resto battery in it and the correct washer bottle, which I'm looking for a correct original. The only thing that's been done is belts, hoses, plugs, wires, and tune up stuff. I have all the receipts for that stuff done 25 years ago. I don't believe the engine has ever been apart. I don't like the dirty look but I don't know where to stop without taking parts out to clean and possibly ruin numbers or finishes.

But to see unrestored cars like this (engine compartment), its a treat!. What trans is in it? 67 hemi GTX silver 4spd, 70 cuda convert 340 4spd, 71 cuda 340 4spd (Curious Yellow, white billboards/interior), 70 Mr Norm's Challenger 440 4spd

Good for you because it looks to have aged well. For such a small place there seems to be quite a few e-bodies on Grand Island. Congrats. Dave

Do you know about the TX9 V code 71 in Grand Island?
