...Was lucky to be in SFO east bay and see this car, about 5 minutes walk from Fantasy Junction. The car was hidden inside a garage (a wall was built so that nobody could see the car when the garage door was open) for 35 years, so in some ways the car is remarkably a survivor with no restoration. Except for the jackshaft, alternator, original carb, headlight lever, trunk floor, and spare wheel, most pieces are there--the brake handle, tool bag (with lug wrench, no other tools); all the heater and AC pieces, the original intake/valve covers/oil pan, package tray, original headers and exhaust, jack handle (no jack or extension), smog equipment, original carb copper lines, spare tie down, carb choke riser... Seats need recovering, the rearview mirror was gone, the defroster vents are gone- but the interior otherwise is very good, and all carpets actually quite good. Body is actually very good, except for the rash around the front spoiler and left side hood no signs of traumatic history.. Yeah, of course a 50 year old car could always enjoy $100k for a complete restoration, but this could be a very good car with a lot less invested.
A couple of details on the car, note the weatherstripping on the forward of the engine covers...Also, an interesting black paint spot on the forwards of the doors.
Trivial things; Distributor date coded 9M4, AC compressor dated E-69. Headlight cables 1.82 and 2.45meters long, Cast iron 3-piston girlings front and rear. AC condenser meant for my car 
(marked '76'! btw, mine is marked '28).
Just a matter of time until this car finds a good home...The pair who have the car will Not restore it--Lee
