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?

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.
