Lucerne blue 71 T/A 4-spd.
I parted it around 1984. The previous owner had let it get sideways and hit a mailbox. It kinked up the quarter just enough to let water get into the trunk and rust the floor and right side quarter. It wasn't hit hard, but just hard enough to keep the trunk from sealing.
He continued to drive it for another 3 - 4 years after the accident, then parked it after spinning a rod bearing. He pulled the engine to rebuild it, put it on an engine stand, and never went any farther. I bought it with the motor apart. The front clip was beautiful, but the interior was a little ratty. It smelled of weed as well.
It had all of the hard to find parts, such as the shaker, correct wheels, correct carb and manifolds, correct 4-spd, and 3.42s. It was a loaded car, even had the rear seat console (which was pretty well destroyed).
