Ok. Here is the engine compartment with just the beginning of the "gross" cleaning. Because it was GROSS!! It will be perfectly cleaned with no alteration to finishes, patina left in place. My understanding is it is all original with the exception of Petronix added inside the distributor. Original coil was left in place. Close ups will be shown. Please give comments on anything not original if you truly know it is. I am rapidly learning about these as much as possible. I have collected unrestored muscle cars most of my life. Had this car fall into my lap. Always wanted one. Thanks for the help!!

Ok. Here are a couple of shots of the car. One is the car in the LeMay Automotive Museum ( largest car collection in the USA housed here. They had a show. " American Muscle". My 1970 Torino was a feature car. Has a very rare factory NASCAR version of the 351 C-4V. Only 400 of these engines were built. The car is 99.99% untouched factory original. The others photo is the car winning first in class at the Pacific Northwest Concours d' Elegance last year. It has been invited to Amelia Island Concoyrs next year. A Pebble Beach judge who was at the show and was one of the judges said he has never seen an unrestored original car in that condition that was driven ( has 93,000 miles on it. Only not original to the car when made is the battery, oil filter, running tires and spark plugs. Everything else has never been touched
