I picked the Hardtop up about 2 weeks ago in Salem, Oregon. This car is a factory 289 4-barrel with a 4-speed. This car was restored about 10 years ago, it has about 11k miles on everything you see here. The engine block # is C5AE 6015E and the date code is either 5D4 or 5B4. The Vin # 63DC5806C52A5.

Very nice looking pair of Comets. I like them both. I really like the choice of wheels on the red car. Brian
