Thanks, Barrie. It is indeed lacking a water pump, so I will be in need of one of those eventually. That and the windscreen seem to be the largest pieces of the puzzle that are missing. The other puzzle to me is the color history. There are definitely signs that the body was once red, and perhaps silver, but I'm not seeing much sign of it being black, though I agree that black would be an excellent color for it. I almost started to wonder if the register entries could have been reversed, but then inside the glove compartment the interior does show bits of red. All of these changes would likely have happened prior to '69, because my uncle was more of a preservationist and not one to go changing such things on a whim. Perhaps these photos, in a more educated eye, can help clarify.
