It's becoming a problem.

Nice :poke:
As bad as it looks, the motor isn't stuck fortunately. The block casting # is 63-66, so that's likely original. The head has some remnants of blue paint, so likely replaced at some point. Someone put some work into this thing (brake and rear end upgrade) long ago before it was left to rot under some trees in Eastern Tennessee. The master cylinder is crusty externally, but when I popped the lid its dry as a bone and still looks parts store new inside.

I have no idea how long its been off the road, but its got a Silver Dollar City bumper sticker on it. The Google says Silver Dollar City became "Dollywood" in 1986. The title I received is from 1985. Dollywood is only about 15 miles away from where I purchased the car.
