    A nice find for sure.  I will be curious to see how high this goes but in this market I think they will be lucky to hit their reserve.

    Hmm, I thought that trunk vent for the fuel tank was only on CA cars? I must be mistaken.

    In 1971, all cars got those.

    Looks like a really nice origonal car.  Too bad someone took a spray can to the underside.

    Yeah, probably rusty as heck and thought he can fool the masses w/some Krylon.  Folks w/$65k to spend on an old 'vert know better...usually.

    Forget the car, what is the story on the gas station in the background?

    Actually I think the car got an aftermarket rustproofing job back in the day like Rusty Jones or equivalent.  They'd give it a cheap undercoating along with the rustproofing jobs they did.  In the pictures you can see all the caps along the door jambs where they drilled the holes to spray all their rustproofing glop inside the panels.
