    it's a 75 2dr, black standard interior, red exterior, and had a black vinyl top. car came with a 250 and auto transmission, nothing else..lol, not even p/s or a/c. no chrome window trim either, but had wheel well trim.

    currently has no motor or trans but i should have one dropped in it and driving by this weekend :)

    That's a gud looking car. From the exterior pic it appears not to be a rust bucket. It might have come frm a region where they don't use salt. Congratulations on the find.
    What u plan on putting in it?
    Gud luck on the project. :thumbs2:

    What state did you have to go in to find this one? I thought you already owned all the available ones in Ky.
