I like GK6.

Even if it had a vinyl top, I'd leave it off.  Not a vinyl top fan.  If you later need to sell it, I guess you can install it later, but I just think it looks cleaner.   Especially where the roof meets the upper rear quarter panel.


Some flat black billboards will set it off nicely.

I'd paint the grille, lower valance insert too.  My $0.02.


Nice buy IMHO!

It will stay gk6 top and bottom like it left the factory. I will add the shaker and billboards to break up the paint. Also paint the grille and keep the bumpers chrome. That's the plan so far

Did you find the car around Tracy or someplace in the Valley?  I think you got a great price on it.  Not that I'm shopping for a car, but I do watch Craigslist, and I didn't see that one come through anywhere near the Bay Area.   Good luck on your project.  Hope to see it someday at the Fremont show.

I got it through a friend who's friend had it. Out of the bay area hopefully the far will be done in 5 or so years

Here is a pic of the fender tag, not a high optioned car but still neat. Would have been a fun driver am/fm 4 speed rallye guages

I prefer no consoles with stick shift cars.

e-body consoles are so dang cheap looking.  And are always warped and cracked.

Like it has no vinyl top too!

Sweet car!  Just add a black billboard only thing I'd do.
