Nice car. Not much to restore there other than rust. Rest seems cosmetically doable. You have to see the car I got into. It is a real mess! But nothing more satisfying than saving a Fiero

What paperwork do you have to show it was a parade car?

Maybe it was this car:
I think ol' Linda probably has a bit of "rust in her trunk" now too...

Did you try the Felpro Permadry Plus blue gasket, part # VS50179T? They're supposed to be VERY good about not leaking, would save a lot of time/money finding another cover and repainting it if it works?
Your driver's side headlight motor also appears to have the small smooth knob? Mine had one too when I bought it, I believe it came from an 82 or 83 Firebird.
And that is THE most ghetto positive battery bolt I have ever seen
And I can't even tell what that is on the (WAY too long) negative cable.

Good luck on this Indy restoration. I've been working on mine for about 6 years and it's about maybe 30% complete.

tbone you did put the fuel filter on in the corrcet direction right? Just asking since you said it ran before you did the filter.

Yeah, she probably did a good job wet testing the sunroof seal...
