Which engine?  What are "all the goodies"?

What's the history of the body (obviously a rust question)?

I know but seeing as how the only wood wheel I have is in a 64 Falcon and not in good shape you should just sell me the insert outright so I dont have to use the leather corrado wheel.

Well, I just got finished my clutch changeout. It will never cease to amaze me how a simple clutch can change a truck from being a real chore to drive, to being a real joy to drive.
BTW, she's no longer for sale. I'm in love all over again.

Good that saved me from having to fly up there and kick you in the nuts for selling it (then steal the wheel insert from whom ever you sold it to).

Damn airlines are too expensive.

:D
