It's a lot worse than it looks here, I can tell you that.

But it's a 340/auto every option except rim-blow and 6-way seat. Black paint, black top, white interior.

Here's the other: 70 318 car, originally red with a red interior, black top. Nearly perfect frame rails, inner fenders, cowl, etc. needs trunk floor and interior floor patches. I have the parts to make it a real 440-Sixpack clone. Don't know which way it'll go yet.

The 71 is pretty bad. here is a shot of it stripped, this is the passenger's side front floor. The hinge pillars are rusted off of the rocker panel. Unfortunately, the guy let the sit in the wettest part of his yard for 12 years, but at least he had a heavy canvas tarp over it.

I searched and searched and searched......and then I just stumbled onto them.

I found the 71 while driving around for work. I spotted it under a tarp in a yard. I stopped and asked about it. The guy's mother was tired of it sitting there for 12 years, so he sold it.

I was buying some parts for the 71, and the guy had the 70 sitting there. I couldn't refuse it for the price.

That aint rough, reflections7. I couldn't even open both of my doors at the same time.

And I also have a 70 Coronet convertible that I saved from a junkyard that's even worse.
