That was a good looking car too, I personally like performance models RAII and RAIV w hubcaps sometimes. My convertible 69 bird has full hubcaps on it I think it’s a nice clean look .

Any back story on this car and its situation?

Hate to see that, brings back memories of when some 18 year old blew a red light and t-boned my 72 lemans sport convertible with GTO body package.

Yeah, they look almost like good quality Kodak slides from the 1960s.. Very sharp resolution. Hard to tell the color of the car. Even the vent window is popped out. Damage probably more extensive than it appears at first glance.
Plate looks like 1970?

I'm thinking Nightshade Green. Sharp with that parchment interior.

Yes, that's a 1970 South Carolina license plate.

Across the bottom it reads:

1670 300 Years 1970

The little I can see of the other cars all look like Pontiacs too. Dealer's rear lot maybe?

That windshield looks like the passenger's head whacked it.

It sure does. So much so that I was expecting to see some blood on that parchment interior.

Based on the barbed wire topped chain link fence I'd think a business' back lot.
