Hey Mike, good to see another islander here! I'm down in Duncan, and have a few parts if you need any for the project. Love to see some photos!

Hi back, I bought this car from Duncan last spring, red convertible owned by Hugh. I posted an album on my profile, I think the pics are too big to upload in the message as it doesn't seem to be posting it here. Pulled the engine and having it overhauled in Vancouver. Thought I'd get the rear diff upgraded next spring.

Good looking car! I'm not sure I ever saw it around down here unfortunately. May have seen the sale ad though.

I might have a spare limited slip diff I pulled from a '70 if you're interested.

No idea on the mileage. I have to dig it out to check the code and figure out the ratio. it was attached to a 455/TH400 combo.
