Probably...
The front bumper center rocket emblem is ALWAYS missing or damaged. Has buyers.

Big Valve C heads

The best 455 made, probably

More likely than most to have a forged steel crankshaft.

Chrome wheels and disk brakes are good for a sale, always.

If it is not stuck, or cracked, I would buy it as a core. Just need to come to a agreed price. Let me know what you end up doing.

Aw hell THAT's not a problem

"probably the best 455 they made"
"forged crank"

Get your butt over there and procure it, or hand it to someone who will...

If it has a Tilt/Tele column, I'd be interested in the steering wheel if it isn't shattered. A few cracks would be fine. Intact taillight lenses are hard to find too.
I probably have a list of other trinkets I need. Please PM me if you get the car.

Thanks,
Brian
