If that is going for restoration I would leave those Raceway stickers on the glass

This is a great find. I would leave it alone and just get it driveable.

Very cool! Has the car been repainted? How about the blacked out tail panel...does it look original?

All the maroon paint and the tail panel black appear to be factory applied. Some checking here and there. It appears that the original owner did some wierd customizing by tryng to fill the gap between the hood vent inserts and the hood - the black stripe section on the hood covers that area.

Bruce, that sure looks original to me. Whoever put those dealer tags back on again? Just the dealer, right?

Steve, a picture inside the trunk to show the black overspray and/or masking details for the tail panel paint would be great reference. Thanks in advance
