Looking at the numbers I was pretty close on my quess Too bad IMHO the original wheels aren't there. Not too many of them around or seen today. By looking at what is posted in the registry it appears that very little information was provided by the most current owners. The color and other information was likel ygotten from an invoice SAAC has in their records (you'll want to get a copy of it if you get the car)

Picking the car apart I would quess you seen all the little things the earlier owners did to change the car (well sort of little things)
steering wheel looks like a Nardi (S?),
shifter, boot and knob
guages
Ash tray handle
horn button on dash
kick panels cracked with wrong hardware
Floor mats
Looks like at least one of the small labels are still on the seat belts
Jumper cables in the back seat
Pedal trim
Can't make out the heater duct area ?
Trunk latch is painted over
Wire not "cliped" in the holder
Trunk rod retainer screw not painted
Lot of "nice" fisheyes in the paint in the trunk
ALways the discussion about the stripe paint breaks and painting over items but tank filler should not be blue
In trunk wires were painted over
Valve stems
Of course the spare is on the wrong side and appears to be missing jack, wrench and hold down
Fender bolts painted over
Area behind side scoops painted body color
Side exhaust
Spring cover and Monte Carlo bolts painted over
Thermostat housing not painted
Wrong sending unit, hose clamps, somthing odd on the heater hose near front
Numerous bolts
Radiator and cap
Battery and hold down
Starter cables
Starter switch
Engine wire loom
Fuel pump and lines
Intake manifold bolts
Carburator
air cleaner , decal (really picky) and wing nut
Upper shock mount bolts (as mentioned by another)
Dist cap and wires
Numerous wire clips
Upper firewall painted black
Various finishes and condition


Is the rear emblem just a poor picture or has it been modified (can't make it out clearly as it appears not to have the normal retangular look) Love the handle added to the ask tray and the horn button

Sure I miss a number of things


Tag looks typical

Nice start Bob what will your plans be. Restore it or just use it?

Hi Bob...thought I would as some stuff that Jeff didn't include but you can possibly use. He was pretty thorough though!

Engine Compartment:
Battery hold down and the cables.
Location of coil should be on the other side.
Thermostat housing not correct...sending unit should be in manifold.
Radiator not correct...should be date coded with formed top.
Should have one large and one small hood spring...drivers side should be small.

Interior:
Been pretty well documented by Jeff.
The shifter plate is not correct. Should be free floating.

Exterior:
The 10 spokes would look great with some bead blasting.

Trunk:
Yikes they did get a little spray happy with the Sapphire Blue in there!!

Overall it looks to be very nice! All the stuff we have pointed out will only take time and $$ to correct. My car was originally this color and if I ever paint it will return it to this color. I love it!! And I like the exhaust in front of the rear tires....ala the 65's.

BTW I have a date coded (622) restored 715 Le Mans Holley if you are interested. Been keeping it around for sometime. Never installed it on another car I had. I don't know what I would want for it but it would probably work for your production date which would probably be around end of March or April sometime. Just let me know if you are interested and I will come up with a price.

Good luck.
