It's rare, but occasionally there is a reason to envy you.... ;>

There are finned Edelbrock aluminum valve covers and what looks to be a Mallory distributor at home there as well. The car also contains the original, unused inflatable spare tire and a somewhat-worse-for-wear inflator bottle. There is a complete set of Magnum 500 wheels with rather nice trim rings and it has a not-so-bad interior. It's an original Snow White car with gold body stripe and a gold (cinnamon?) vinyl roof and a tan/cinnamon vinyl interior. Console shift auto, AC, power discs and a sport steering wheel. Was originally a 360 (P-code) car. Has the Rallye-Pak gauge cluster.

But, it's all there except for the AC compressor and while the paint and vinyl top have long since deteriorated, the body appears to be solid enough that it could be brought back with moderate effort. For an example of how long it's been parked, it has a set of BF Goodrich BELTED T/A white-letter tires on it! When was the last time you saw non-radial BFG tires?
