Also the repaint of the cowl area, the battery tray that is often toast in these cars due to dripping acid from careless maintenance, etc, etc. \n\nAlso the compression readings of each cylinder in individual photos, which we have seen once or twice here on BaT for Z cars, but that really helps to show the great condition of the engine, and maybe also that the low mileage on the ODO is real for this car. And 175 psi with little variation across cylinders --- nobody could ask for better than that, especially for a 47 year old car. \n\nI could go on, but the pics and paperwork speak for themselves about this car.

I've driven it over 181K miles and loved every minute of it. Now it's been stored away for decades after refurbishing just about everything needed on the car, pickling the engine, up on blocks, wheels off, and in a secure, climate-controlled specialty car storage unit along with two other non-driver collector's cars. Not gonna sell it - ever - most likely going to our gearhead son (who's never happier than when he has his head under a hood). The other two - well, maybe, but more likely going to him as well once his job location settles down somewhat.\r\n\r\n@aldo_mauro Truly a car to enjoy for years.
