Just FYI, the guy who bought this two years ago took it down to the sheetmetal. It was in great shape under that crappy paint. He started from bare metal and restored it, even putting a 389 in where my 455 had resided. Its a tri-power, which is not original, but who can blame a man for wanting a 66 to be tri-power?
Anyway, it came out beautiful. I just thought I would update everybody.
It is sad for me that it is gone, but I am happy it is restored and beautiful again.
Anyway, my trepidation about what was under the paint turned out to be unfounded. Other than the small holes under the windshield that I already knew about, the sheetmetal was great. This would have been a great buy for somebody looking to restore a car but start with something pretty damn solid and straight.
