This was kind of interesting (at least to me). I was concerned that the car had been re-painted or touched up at some point because of the overspray on the gas tank straps. James Groome informed me that the straps were on the car when the body was painted (straps were attached at one end without the tank installed), so it's not uncommon to see that overspray on original second gens.

Yes, the tank straps were hanging when the car was painted. Looks nice! How is the front valance on the car? They were a polyethylene type plastic and tend to crack in the corners and at the mounting points.

Got any engine compartment photos?

Does the fuel gauge work? I ask because that wire with the star washer terminal end is the ground for the fuel tank sender. It should be screwed to the backside of the bulkhead there somewhere on the side that faces the tank.
