    That looks like a keeper! With a small bumper swap and a set of wheels and tires, will be a sharp ride! So what are the plans for it? I'll give ya $100 for it right now! :D

    Car Number Two in "The Fleet" ... let the madness begin.

    I'll say it too ... too nice a car to kill for parts.

    It looks like you could do a bumper tuck, slap some Magnums and nice tires on it, wax it, and that would be a great daily driver.
    It would let you go a bit crazier on your blue car, too.

    Agreed! Very easy fixes. Would be a good one to learn your body work on.

    You guys in Washington have some clean cars.... probably better than Florida because they aren't sun-baked.

    Drive the wee out of that car. :thumbs2:

    do you mean, like... ALL the parts?

    Congrats Matterick....

    I think we're ALL thinking thats an ENTIRE parts car.... nothing wrong with it at all by the look of it...

    IN FACT.... a really good six cylinder car with big bumpers is an excellent daily driver... esp. to protect the grill, bezels, etc from those nasty parking lot dings. leaving your other project car as the "work in progress". It's got some creature comforts for our long, dark, dreary, wet winters and that simple, reliable six can get pretty good mileage.

    I'd just be happy taking some polishes and waxes to her for now...

    congrats.... it looks really sweet.
    Whiskeee
