Ive already begun searcing for parts. The good part is it does come with lots of spare parts including sheet metal.   I just need to figure out how to afford the shaker

Is it an A/C car?  A lot of U Code automatic cars had that. Are you going to restore it as stock or modify it? #'s? You started out with a desirable one. Post some pictures when you get it. I am new to the site also and everybody is very helpful, as we all know that we have the ultimate American collector cars here.

Nope that's not mine, I posted saying a look into your future. :-) Mine's in my avatar.
Sounds like a very nice car. If it's an S.E. it is bound to have A/C being the top of the line model.

I think maybe you would need another dash to convert to A/C for the vents, so you might not want to do it. It is unusual that a U Code automatic high end car like that doesn't, but what the heck- less stuff to break. Does the car have a fender tag?

Yes it has one but the car was paintyed with house paint, so its unreadable,   I have a spare a/c dash so its up in the air right now I want to do a fuel injected 6 pack to it (hes a buddy)  so the a/c might have to wait.
