Beautiful car! That engine bay looks untouched, I hope it stays that way. 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.

Nice car!!!! I had a triple black 71 cuda that was untouched like this car, but had rust to the point it got restored (in Australia). But to see unrestored cars like this (engine compartment), its a treat!.

What trans is in it?

I think it was a cool find, hard to believe that little gem was tucked away for 20 years. 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.

Very nice survivor. I found a GY9, Tawny Gold 1971 cuda 340 survivor around 1997. It had black leather bucket seat interior with rallye gauges and column shift auto, a/c, and pdb. Sold it in 2000 to a guy named Todd Vollink in Michigan.

What a super cool car. It is like a time capsule with the pictures you are posting for reference. Can you share a picture of the fender tag, it looks to have some awesome options. Great score and congratulations.

interesting shots of what appears to be original blue paint over orange on the thermostat housing

hard to tell if it was ever apart. I have receipts for almost everything that was done, and do not for a thermostat or housing.
