It looks like you've got yourself a pretty solid car to start with. Good luck with it!

Is that the original color ? Convertible top is something that I would love to have. Can't wait to see your progress.

How much could you get for that do you think?

No it's not original. The guy I bought it from is my friend's dad. When he got it in Delaware 15 years ago it was pretty much bare metal. The guy had replaced the quarters and primed some of it. He was trying to clone it into a 1970, it had the '70 front end on it. My friends dad put the right front end on it and painted it the green color it is now. He dropped in a 350 he had laying around and that's as far as he got.

Took some pictures of the interior. Finally got everything in just in time to park it! Going to figure out what I'll be working on this winter and what the budget is.
