Re: 1979 new (to me) car
 

Only non GM panels are the floor pan patches, toe board patch, trunk pan (partial)and a fabricated lip on front dash panel (where W.S. sits). Left tunnel section as evidence it was a factory muncie equipped car. If anyone knows anything about the car, I really need some help with the history. I know of the past 3 owners. That is only a span of about a year and a half (77-79). NCRS docs not available. No docs, whatsoever. Believe it was always in Cincy area. It should not be hard to ID if anyone knows the car sa it was painted a unique custom.How it was in 79 when I bought it. SEE PREVIOUS PAGE for how it is now.

Anyone notice the radiator that came in this car?

Nice project! Interesting, my 1969 Fathom green SS 396/375 X22 is also a 12B car.
It has a dark green vinyl top and medium green standard interior. The only options
it came with othe than the 396/375 engine is console and AM radio.

What is your question Tenney? Same car, same owner. Another pic of it back in the day.

Thanks guys for the compliments.

It certainly is/was a one-of-a-kind. I am hoping someone on here may know the car, remember from a drag strip, look through their old pictures etc or know of a painter that they recognize the style of the flames. Here is a pic of the flame tips that fade to blue. The whole car had gold flake and cob webbing in the grille and tail panel. I stripped everything but the hood as a tribute to the old paint job.
