This is a really cool car, but it needs a tremendous amount of "fluffing" before it can be judged in any category (Flight, Bow Tie, Bloomington Survivor or Bloomington Gold). The chassis really needs many of hours of "cleaning" to bring the original look back. The interior will need to be cleaned lots, also. Many little items like exhaust, belts and I'm sure many of the expensive trinkets under the hood need to be replaced.
The first thing I'd do is to get the rear end back on the ground...... It does look like a 4 wheel drive truck with the rear all jacked up like that. I'm not sure what's doing the lifting as it looks like the original spring and trailing arm bolts. Maybe they got the rear tires off the ground and didn't move the car to settle it back down.
I'm sure there are some bad surprises for a potential owner as always seems to be the case on an original car that has not been prepared for judging.
