Saw this one today when picking up some parts. They are parting it out although there doesn't seem to be much left. Has silver-button gauges and a blue dash. Motor was out of the car but I didn't check it out. The shop owner said it's a '72 front with a '75 rear welded on. It's sagging in the middle.
I've added it to the VIN database.  |

No but the gauges are probably the only thing of value on this particular car. I know the silver buttons make my car about 1.3% faster than cars with the later gauges (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |
