More info from the current owner:
We bought this car 4 years ago in Chilliwack BC, it was bought 10 years earlier but never restored. The body work and paint are complete as well as the drivetrain so its time to put it together. The Vinyl Top and Seat material was sourced and we’re looking forward to driving it. A rare factory F5 F6J F8 4-speed, although not numbers matching
Info from PREVIOUS owner:
It is a factory 318 4speed car and is coded for Mod roof and int. Org. eng. and trans. are gone, but the car is 100% rust free and has never been hit. The 1/4’s are beautiful, it has one 1968 fender, and the other has a repairible dent, doors and deck lid are nice, org. hood is gone. Header panel and grills are there but missing signal lights and headlight rings, the roof and int. are totally sunbaked, seats are cores only, the car definetly needs a resto, but 4speed cars are very rare
