    It odd to see a 455 4bbl in a GP without the Chrome Dress up option with Chrome Air cleaner lid & Chrome Valve covers, & non A/C.

    I like how the coolant was last checked 18 years ago. The mileage is also given, 82,456. The auction listing shows a photo of the odometer with the mileage at 82,889. So the car has been driven 433 miles in the last 18 years.

    I have to say that that engine does look unused. I'd certainly want to check all the hoses and fluids and so forth before doing any serious driving. I'm guessing everything needs changing.

    Up to $9200. Not worth it if you have to yard out the engine to derust and regasket it and replace every rubber item because 18 years. For that amount of time, I'd suspect the water pump and carb right off the bat.
