Nice car. I would suggest you call out which h.p. engine it is. From the redline on the tach I am guessing 350 h.p?
It LOOKS like it has leather seats if so I would add to the description as that is a good selling point.
Also it looks like it has under car chambered exhaust. If I am right you should so state as many potential buyer would like to know.

That tach redline is typical of a 300 horse unless it was an early car with L79.

Yes, I saw that. I was responding to your comment that the tach indicated it was probably a 350 horse.
In any event, it looks like a very nice car. I'm sure the seller can provide the engine info.
The engine has an aluminum intake and the finned valve covers. Could have been added or maybe a higher h.p. engine.
in the add the seller states the original intake comes with the car. If you read that like I do then what you see on the engine now did not come with the car from new. I take no account on the valve covers as ever-bodies brother put them on every SBC and who could argue why.
but at any rate this seems like a very good car with great docs. I hope the seller comes back to answer these questions. And I wish him good luck
