You'll be firing it soon. Having those carbs on will keep it the way your uncle had it.

[JS29]

It's kind of like waiting for Christmas morning after looking at the box's of presents for a week! 

[FIAARMN]

You'll be firing it soon. Having those carbs on will keep it the way your uncle had it.

I agree, that is why it was decided to stay mechanical and to stay true to how he had it and what his plans where at the time of his passing.  If it is ever decided to restore it, it will be made right then.......   

[1 Wild R/T]

If you think doing a rest down the road is likely it might be a good idea to keep an eye out for a set of correct 4spd date coded carbs......

Though honestly the car will be more fun just as it is when you get it back on the road..... Restored means more stress if/when you take it out for a cruise....

Currently it'll turn plenty of heads & be a blast to take out for a drive....

Survivor with out a major restoration ........   Just happy to know a lot of history on the car, happy to know the car is documented correctly:
