Looks very nice and clean. How much did you pay for it?

mines beat up, but runnin strong for four years

for 300 dollars, i can live with her looking like a demolition derby racer. my 75 has two mismatched doors, and a red hood on a (mostly) white car, but the engine, fuel injection, five speed, etc all have run fantastically for four years with practically zero major repairs. consumables like a clutch, brakes, starter, alternator, and fuel pump is all ive had go wrong, and ive put like forty or fifty thousand miles on it.. low-test, pump gas, and it runs like a champ. sometimes you get a lemon that was built on a friday afternoon; i think my car was built by someone training a group of new employees

I got one too

Picked up a '76 2+2 from my brother in law who was just letting it sit after blowing a head gasket. Gotta put the engine back together hopefully going to haul it home this weekend.
Looking forward to getting it back in nice clean running order.
