    The front end looks like a camaro.  Not my style, but hey...someone will buy it and maybe restore it.

    Try talking to Herb Hoffman at Unique Auto Body Inc (H&R Assoicate)

    I think you will find he did the paint in the mid 80's 
    If you look it over, make sure the seatcovers weren't just slapped over the diamond tufted ones.
    Dats all I know.

    I kind of like it with the stock type interior, but I would also axe the tube grill and put chrome bumpers back on it.
    Then drive the crap out of it while growing back my mullet. ;D

    I had a set of those yellow traction bars on my 1st car.  Wonder if they really do anything, you don't see them anymore.

    I'm going to disagree here. I like it!! I always liked those type of paint jobs in the 70's. I wished I could afford one of them back then. You just had to be there to like them I think. I had my wild cloths, hair almost to my but and head band. I just watched a program on TV yesterday on the 60's and 70's. They were the best years to live in my opinion!!!!!!!!!!

    LOL, I thought I saw the last of that one. I had my head under that dash. The previous owner asked me to help correct a couple of wiring issues. Nothing major, just removed some old wiring  :screwy:  upgrades and replace a bad dash dimmer switch.

    Yes, that car was done in St Louis. You had to look at it for a while and certain little paint details would jump out. It was a good running car.

    What a throwback to the 70s!!! That is what the custom car scene was all about back then. At least this car looks to be extremely well presevered and would probley be an easy restore!
