Do I need glasses? This car needs total restoration. It sat outside for thirty years. If that's the case all restoration shop should close.

I'm in the clean it up and drive it camp.

I really appreciate a restored car but this would clean up pretty nice and without a ton of effort and really be a great patina'd car that would draw more attention than a restored car at a cruise night .............and you could drive the snot out of it and not worry about getting caught in the rain or a catching a rock chip.

Big congrats on getting this car. Is your age in your profile correct? :-) If so, you remind me of the high-school-age me!

Thanks,
Inside I feel 16, outsides telling me different.

I'm having friends assist with the collecting of parts and car on Sat. Regrettably I'm unavailable to do so being committed to another event. Photos will be taken as well as video.
As of now it will be left as found.

This car has a great back story!

More to follow.
