I have to make room in the garage then roll her into her Bay so I can get her out of the elements
 
(I'm not so sure I would do it just because you would have to go power brakes with the conversion
Why power brake? Just size the master to not make it a bear to drive. His ratio on the pedal would be wrong and have to be changed to power brake pedal/linkage. Just make it manual disc with a two pot master, no stupid H switch no stand off valves, just a adjustable proportioning valve hidden down underneath the floor pans.
Damn Imperial drivers want everything loaded with power everything:poke:

It's not like I would simply slap it together...
It's not my first rodeo here boys..
I'd use a bungee cord to hold the brake pedal up!!.:steering:

Trying to figure what the "1" on the body tag is for. Codes that end in "1" :
281 - 3 speed manual transmission
341 - Air Floam cushion on front seat
451 - Carpetting on floor (rubber carpets were standard on the Seneca)
461 - Sun visors - padded

Back up lights were code 372.

Might also be a "1" in front of the odometer reading. There is an awful lot of wear on the brake pedal for 30,000 or so miles.

Had an uncle with a 1965 Acadian Beaumont (Canadian Pontiac dealers' Chevelle) who put on over a 100,000 miles on it. Never in an accident and as he lived in a small community in rural Saskatachewan, his first stop sign after leaving his drive way was almost sixty miles later. He said it was a great car, although felt 90,000 miles was a little too soon to need a brake job.

If this Seneca saw life in a rural area it would not be surprising if it had over 100,000 miles. Kept out of the sun when not driven would keep the paint in good condition.

I agree it is likely rolled over once
