Some additional photos. Congrats to the new owner. I am sure it will be one of if not the finest after restoration. Tough to beat Red/red especially when the roof goes down.

Nice - thanks Rick. How did this car stay off of the radar? It appears to be very driveable and must have been "out and about".

The owner did drive it in the 70's and 80's but had a collection of cars. He did tell me about a trip he took to NYC and stopped in front of MSG and Empire State building. He lives just over the outer bridge crossing on the NJ side in the Sewaren area.

You'll notice there are no fender emblems. The second owner repainted the car in 78ish and installed NOS fenders. I believe he said he noticed some rust starting down low on passenger fender, so he replaced both and never installed emblems. He did provide NOS emblems....
