I bought the car from a friend due back in 2016. I've only put 50 or so miles on it just because it isn't my style of car nor is it super practical for the type of driving I do. I've taken it to a local car show, and have taken it a couple nights out as an attention-grabber but that's about it. \r\n\r\nAs you can see from the videos, it does run and drive, but it does need some TLC as it is an old car and it hasn't been driven much the past couple of years so there's always things that come along with that. A few things I can name are the front right headlight is out, I believe the whole original dash is inoperative (speedo worked when I bought it but got stuck on my few drives). The oil pressure and water temp gauges are fully functional though. \r\n\r\nThe 350 runs well. Starts up no issues. The years I've had it, I would make it a point to start it up and get it to temperature every 2-3 months. Transmission and transfer case are fully functional too with high and low gear settings, and can switch between FWD and AWD. \r\n\r\nI was told by the friend I bought it from it was a dealer-swapped car when it was originally bought in 1965/66. Unfortunately there are no records of this, but I have reason to believe it is true. The previous owner was also the one who swapped the seats.\r\n\r\nThe top is removable but I have personally never removed it as it seemed like a lot of trouble to do. \r\n\r\nPlease let me know if you guys have any more questions or any more videos.
