Off topic reply but similar specs.
I once parted out a rotted 71 Torino 2dr.
315C, four barrel, four speed car, with A/C. Drum brakes, non P/S, non B/B! Not even a radio!
Second owner b title Pa car. Told the story.
Original owner was a Gas station rep, forget the company so he got free fuel.
He wanted A/C for his summer travels, but did most of his driving on the highway and did not like the twitchy P/S he remembered from the 50's-60's. He had no use for music or those new fangled power disc brakes either!
Would have been a cool car to save, but even back in 1980 it was just too far gone in the floors and firewall, frame rail sections.
