Looks like a well optioned car.

Bs code?

What does the stripe say at the rear of the car?

One repaint?

Love the big ole tires out back. Got air shocks?

yup you got all three right. bs code, one repaint, and it has air shocks. the cool thing about the air shocks is that he had it hooked up to vacuum off the intake and had a little pump mounted on the firewall and a little gauge and dial under the dash so he could regulate the shocks from inside.  the stripe had a 340 sticker on it

That's pretty slick.  Have not seen an adjustable system that was mounted in the car.



I like the green on green the more I see them.
Looks like the interior has been changed to black.
Are you going back to green?

yeah the previous owner back in the 70's had pinned some fur looking fabric onto the all the door pannels, headliner :banghead: and put black buckets seats and carpet in it.  i havent decided yet if im going back to green or if im putting black in it.  do you guys think it would hurt the value of the car if its not green....keep in mind that the car is all numbers matching

I dont think it would hurt the value of the car being its an 340 auto on the column car. I think the green cars are less desirable and are priced lower then a more popular color :2cents:
