Engine needs a refresh, it backfires out the exhaust occasionally and has the usual oil problem. Would like to do a mild build on it one of these days.
I don't have nearly enough "play time"...

Welcome to the site!
ha ha ha, that's so lame...Just Kidding. It's the lament of most of us, even us older retired dudes.
If it isn't the time factor it's usually the $$$ factor. That looks a lot like Baroque Gold? Is your cowl tag PNT code 57 A ?

So that means the vinyl top was added. Did you do it or someone else? I remember what it was like when I only had 17 to go till retirement. That was in a previous life now that I'm THERE!!

Wasn't me that added the vinyl top. It WAS one thing that impressed me about this car when I got it 10 years ago. There is not a single bubble under that vinyl and they were notorious for bubbling and rusting underneath. The car had a repaint at some point before I got it. The top may have been replaced then.
What it needs now is an engine refresh. That oil light is flickering at idle when it warms up. I have a block and heads up the barn... 68 350 and #5s I think..
