Looks to have a recent paint job. Worth the opening price for sure.

Wrong wheels and stereo but something looks odd to me.

The moldings and the steering wheel. I can't place it but something appears to be amiss.

Don't get me wrong real nice car with a little resto.

Either this car was a 5-speed from the start and swapped to aod or the air cleaner lid was swapped and is efi car or truley does have a carb and not efi but in any case not original but still a decent looking ASC vert.

I'm willing to bet the air cleaner lid was swapped at some point

Correctly does NOT have the ascMcLaren emblem on deck lid, but does have 5.0SC on right side of deck lid. Correct 5.0SC in grille. Correct door panels, seats, steerring wheel. Incorrect rims. Correct roof. Looks like a B grade, maybe a B- what with the Carb question......Seen better, but seen alot worse !

It's just the air cleaner lid that has been swapped. You can still see the solenoids on the drivers fender for the CFI system. Looks all to be hooked up. If it were converted to a carb a mess would be seen of the wiring.
