Glad you like it. Yes, I think it looks best as it was originally made. I was thinking about buffing it, too. Also my '76 limo which could really use a good buffing session.

US cars are rather plentiful here in Oz, but for the most part we suffer the usual run of Mustangs, Corvettes and Camaros, so I really enjoy seeing rarer classics, especially ones that are not restored. There's a certain air of charm to cars that have not been reborn via way of modern restoration methods and are pretty much as intended when they left the factory. I'm glad to hear that Fleet won't be lowering it or painting it, but it certainly seems like the engine bay needs some minor cosmetic work and a bit of cleaning (as does the interior).

Yep, as the saying goes, they are only original once.

Fantastic car. Keep us informed!

Thanks. I will do a youtube video so the engine and exhaust sounds can be heard. When I first started it up, it sounded on the loud side, but I am used to quiet Cadillacs and Lincolns so maybe that was why. But with a Mopar, I wnat to hear some engine sounds anyway.
