The hood is bad, but can be fixed, there are rust thru holes in both rear quarters under the vinyl top, the trunk floor is history and has been horribly fiberglassed as a repair. The side stripe I painted on in about 15 minutes to show my wife what it would have looked like. Sad sad story to a once beautiful car. Can you imagine how this car looked new? Silver with black vinyl top and deluxe black cloth interior with reflective black side stripe and honeycombs! It was hard to let it go. I hope someone gets ahold of it and restores it.
I thought I remembered it...


Agree - it would have been stunning when new.
