Picked this up Friday. Sat near, but not in, the Chesapeake bay since 84 when last registerd. Supposedly a 53,000 original mile car, and I did see evidence that it may be. Oh and it has a Miles connection (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif) ?

Hard to tell here but the trunk has rusted completely loos from the latch and the rear bumper looks like it was shot with a 12 gauge it has so many rust holes

This is what the rear trunk looked like. Front bumper also had several holes rusted through it.

Looks like I found the perfect car to model a new RC shell after! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Think the RC shell will sell?

Now for a few of the goodies. Sail trim is near PERFECT! one small dent on the drivers side. These should polish up VERY nicely (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

No seats, pass door panel is in decent shape. Windows reg's will be going in my dads 72 so his glass will quit popping out (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) that is assuming I ever get back to werking on it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Seat mounts and gauges were removed by a friend who originally found the car 4 years ago. Doors are rusted through on the botoms and the sides

Tranny. I have 2 late model cars with no running gear. The sail trim and fog lights were nice bonuses though (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I assume this is a POS aftermarket but I kept it just in case (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) anyone know otherwise (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Pedal cluster moves as freely as the engine and still had some of the cad plating left on it! Very good piece to rebuild. Note the hole rusted through the wall behind it though

You're kidding right? I'll go back out and see if they are even there, I really didn't pay attention to them. I do have a VIN if you want it. Found Saint Christopher under the dash. His brother Saint Crustopher was everywhere else (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) This makes the 2nd car I have found one of these in, and 2 other cars with crucifixes in them.
