I got the vin with my zoom! The car is located in Superior WI. I have been driving by it now for a couple years. I got the owners name and phone number today. It looks like it still has the engine in it. The turn signal switch is still on the column maybe a couple other things...

Nice work Rick, I think you can safely kill that one in the VIN registry. Even FourBlades isn't reviving that one!

No sail/targa vinyl and not an LE.
I think my car is a true 75 no targa/sail vinyl car.
I have to get back under to look.

Yeah, all it needs is a little sanding ... maybe some POR15 and it'll be concours ready* in no time!

true true....but you are hunting for a different model and the hunt takes longer...and you need to really dig deep.

Nope, JB Weld and fibreglass cloth will fix anything. Ya just beat me to it damnit!

I bit of patience (Ok a lot of patience) and that's fixable. The car I just restored bent in 1/2 the opposite way to that when I put it on the bench. A lot of welding, a nice set of flares and you would never know it broke in 2......
BTW the rust on mine (sail panels and windshield) looked as bad as that too.

All that car needs is a quick wipe with a ShamWow and it will look better than new!
Well, except for the small amount of JB weld that is needed....

My first car was from SoCal. This one from Ottawa area......there is a difference, and not a good one either.
The good part is I saved an otherwise scrap car from the bone yard.
This one (another Canadian car) just could not be saved.

What are you talking about? That looks like a cherry east coast car!
Plus you can conveniently transport it in two separate pieces.........

other than the part of it bent or folded in half its not that bad and I am being serious...the front of the car looks good, that would make a nice parts car, I wonder if its got a 2 or 1,8 in there. Looks to be a 74 model to me
