Seller told me he's had door since 1986 but didn't use because his friend had a better one for a good price. Said it's been stored inside since then. Rust-wise it seems to have held up pretty well... He sent two pictures before primer...Not the best but better than nothing...

Good points! He did send before primer shots... They help but only way to see inside is to do it "in person". Accoring to him previous repairs done in 80's.

My car has the original engine in it. It has 187,000 miles on it and I have no idea what condition it is in. It does turn over by hand. Probably rebuildable and also probably needs bored and new pistons, etc. I will need to invest considerable $$ into it.

I have an opportunity to buy another 1971 350 engine which is in good shape. Obviously not a matching number block and the heads are not the stock #94s.

QUESTION: If I use this other engine how much would it hurt the value of an otherwise numbers matching GT-37?

Since I am waiting for a few front brake parts before I install the shoes and drums, I moved to the back and removed the gas tank..Tank actually had about a gallon of old gas left in it after 30 yrs!. Underside of trunk looks good.

Looks like tank has 3 vents and just a gas line but no return line for gas. Is this correct?
