Guess Charlie can name it "door ding"

What a story.

Park it for 35 years over a door ding. Crazy

Wow what a great story. Even better that the owner wanted to make sure the car ended up in the right hands for someone else to enjoy instead of keeping it tucked away and something happening to it. Sort of like the, "One day I'm going to restore it or drive it owners" that will NEVER do anything with the car ever again. Of course this is NOTHING like those barn finds or car sitting in a driveway not to be sold stories we often hear.

Part of me thinks it should be preserved as is and the other part of me thinks you should take it out and do a big fat smoky burnout.

Default door ding?
He parked it for 35 years cause of a door ding? what a baby. now take this to Detroit Speed for tubs and get one of those twin turbo mule motors and the nice thing is you wont have it painted ok i was kidding about modding it. I've seen a local guy here that bought a superbly restored 69-70 BB nova and he has a shop I know that put tires/wheels,suspension and last I heard he's adding an O/D unit to the muncie in it - all bolt ons and he's boxing up the rallys/redlines and stuff to be put back - just like in the old days except the stuff pulled went in the trash and the cars cost alot more now too. nice find Charley.

I gotta think a car like this you keep unmolested.

If it can live and breath with the original oil, tires (and air in the tires) then leave it be. A thorough cleaning is as far as I'd take it.

You never know. This car could be the last of the survivors.
