Yesterday was a long and dirty day of cleaning / preserving the chassis on the car. Considering the history of the car and where it spent a good amount of it's life, I'm happy with the results. You'll see the non OEM shocks in the pics.....those are old school Koni's

As I have mentioned before, I have more history to seek, prior to 1995.
There is some evidence the car was used for it's intended purpose. The car is not documented to be an F41 suspension in the car, yet there is an F41 front sway bar, F41 rear spring (aftermarket bolts securing it to the trailering arms) and the aforementioned Koni's. The lips on the rear wheel wells were shaved assumingly for larger rear tires.
I had ordered up a set of tires for the car right after it landed. When purchasing the car, I was told the tires were new back in 2022. He wasn't lying, they were new TO THIS car. They were reproductions from (what I figure) back in the 90's. Made in Argentina. They were just about as hard as some of the original non DOT's I've mounted and dismounted. The spare is the original Firestone Deluxe Champion, so I followed suit with the new skins. Another little surprise, was none of the wheels were original to the car. They were all 15x6 (should be 15x5.5). One of them was not even a GM wheel. Luckily, I had a nice survivor set of 65-66 wheels at the shop.
Today's task, get this installed.......
