More info on the specs and plan??
Its a 400 auto with/AC. Original color was Palisade Green. Someone painted it silver using very low quality paint. The motor in it is a 455. I was on my way to Nevada when I saw this for sale. I didn't have any reference books with me. I knew the motor would be a Y something but wasn't sure. I looked under the hood and saw the 13 400 heads and a YC stamp on the motor. I figured it was correct. The woman selling it didn't know anything about the car.

When I got it home I realized it was a 1971 455 block with the 400 stuff bolted to it. Oh well. I do have a 1970 YS 400 block sitting in my shed.

Im pretty sure I think I am going to paint it Atoll Blue since its a non matching car and Im not a big fan of Palisade Green. It has a black interior so I can paint it any color I want.
