Default Pulled the 78 out for some ins photos

Hagerty wanted some more pictures of the car so I snapped these this morning. I dont think I've posted any of this car.










The rust on the quarter is on the outer skin, the rust under the window is contained to that area even on the back side and in the t-top area is the worst of it. The floors, trunk, drop offs rockers, fenders all solid. The car sat for years with the passenger side and rear exposed to the weather if you did'nt figure that out.

It's amazing how much stuff is different between your car and mine. On my radio, the whole selector dial flip's internally, it never worked very well, and finally crapped out the same day I had planned to replace it on.
I like the 78-up seats much better than those goofy horse collar seats I have.
The rear bumper cover on my car was never very good. I've seen some that looked smooth, mine always seemed to be a little grainy, then got worse, as it aged, but my car wasn't been properly stored much at all...

It looks like most of your body issues can be repaired w/o buying panels, of course, finding a top notch body man is not an easy thing to do....

Your car is very nice!!!

Damn, my car used to look the same. No t-tops though. Same two tone seats. I miss the gold now. Mine had the same rust above the tail pipes.

If you don't mind me asking, how much do you have it insured for? I'm just curious as I have a couple vehicles I wanted to insure with a "stated value" policy through Hagerty, and just wanted to know if what you thought your car was worth vs what they thought it was worth based on photos was about the same.

It have it set for $10k. I've been with hagerty for 6 years and this is the first time they asked for throughout pictures. She said they do that from time to time.
