    That is one of the most stripped down 76 Park Ave. I have ever seen. On second thought I don't believe it's a Park Ave. Looks like a stripped down Electra that had a P.Ave interior put in it.

    I wonder what he means under the hood “was” the 455 motor.... no engine pics. Could be a 350-Chevy crate motor. Also some CLR and a scotch-brite pad would have helped on the rust shot. Those ‘70’s boats didn’t fair well with all of that salty air. That interior looks very inviting all pillowy though. The plastic around the opera windows just never played nice as it aged.

    I think he's just trying to sound the narrator of a documentary. In the upper part of the listing, where the car's specs are shown, it does say that the engine is a 455 V-8. I doubt he'd lie about something like that.

    I’m sure you’re right. I meant to put an “lol” after the engine comment. In our part of the country a 350 Chevy crate motor seems to be the answer to any power plant issues.
