Amazing that these things continue to pop up.  I would leave it original if I could afford to buy it.  It looks like it has some nice options.

I agree. 
  Nice car, Cool they pop up, even in the Netherlands.  Sitting for 25 years way over there.  Good luck with the sale.

Clean it up and drive it AS IS.  Much cooler to look at an un-restored muscle car then a fully done up one.

You don't see many 3-speed manuals.

That is so cool to see. I just love barn finds. Looks like a 225 /6 with a three speed, and some nice options. A perfect daily driver. Nice. Thanks for sharing. Wish I had one just like it.

It's a matchingnumber, as far as I can see.

It has a 225cui with a 3 speed.

The car is in a bad condition. It's a very big project.

The car look bad, but very good restorable. That's true.

When I bought my Barracuda, it was in the same condition. After 200 hours of welding its like new.  ;D
