Alrighty fellers, got some more information today while poking around. The car was made in Baltimore MD, shipped to a dealer north of Greenbriar in WVA, and bought brand new by a man who would pass the car down to his son. Son gave it to a mechanic who let it sit, and now it's in my driveway. The car is 100% original after doing some vin decoding and checking numbers.
It is a 283 with a powerglide behind it. Takes a fuzz to get it running but it's not a hard start by any means. Definitely needs some brake work, and I can't quite pin down an occasional squeal I hear, though the belts do need to be replaced. That's all for now. I suck at posting pics but I'll keep trying. The car is too neat for me not to show it's progress.
Thank you for all of the input and advice thus far, it is certainly appreciated. This is the oldest vehicle I have worked on thus far.
