When will you be in Murrieta? I'd drive over to take a look at it, seeing how I'm not that far away. When this listing first came up the guy was hesitant about selling, he doubled the price on me then the listing disappeared. I would still like to take a look at it, before you drive it home.
I'll send you a PM.

I talked to the original owner now and he has the 352 sitting in his garage as well as the original chrome bumper in his garage rafters. He might have original wheels, too. He even thinks he has the original order form with the paint colors if he can find it. I'm swinging by his place after I pick up the truck.

If I were you I would for sure take the 352, I drug the original 352 out of my '66 through two home moves. Kept it around for nearly twenty years. Just this past winter I along with my grandson tore it down hauled it to the machine shop had it bored .0050 over. For reassembly we put a standard polished 390 crank, rods, and standard bore 390 pistons. They make a great 390! I'm envious, great buy. The 4.10 gears can be replaced, and that's a good thing.

There is a C6 in the truck now. Not sure if the MX cruise-o is available or not yet, I forgot to ask him. Do I want that if I can get it? CS65 says yes.

I believe it is a period Ford car, Mustang , Galaxie etc. color. Just curious, does it have power steering or power brakes?

Absolutely. When my Cruise-o buggered I replaced it with a C6. Regret it now.
I think I may know where another one with an FE bellhousing is if you need one.

No power brakes for sure. Pretty sure no power steering. Here's a few underhood shots but maybe not quite the right angle.

The original owner said he thought it was Sauterne Gold.
