Looks like that C-piller plug is ready to pop, though.....

An owl was my first thought but angry Donald works too.
 
Just wondering where your photo of an interior came from - at least the shot of the dash/steering wheel looks like a different car since it has the auto pilot knob protruding from the right side of the steering column whereas the car for sale does not. The listing says the interior is original, but it looks like it might have been redone. What is most troublesome, though, is the poor pitted condition of all the chrome trim on the car - that alone would cost a fortune to replate and then I wonder how well that intricate grill would come out even if it were sent for replating? And why is the rear end so low? The paint must have been redone, and given the rust in the front edges of the hood, I wonder whether any problems were covered up in the process of repainting. And then, if someone were to restore this formal car, what would you do with it when it was done, as it just doesn't seem like a typical car you would cruise in, but maybe.
seriously.........

I'd cruise in that beauty!
 
I still want to know what's going on with the C-piller on that car for sale.

Looks like the bondo has maybe shrunk a little on the one side? You can definitely see the outline of the plug showing through.
 
Whatever fills the gap on the window plug has shrunken back since the last paint job. You can see it in a couple of the pics. It's probably not a big deal to repair, but it's something that won't fix itself.

The chrome needs a lot of work on that car to make it nice.... The rear bumper looks pretty bad, I can't decide if that's a rust through or not. Cool car.... too expensive to buy and even more expensive to make it right.
 
Wonder how these older Imps were plugged anyways, also fiberglass like the later ones or metal and lead.
 
That's going to be a ***** to repair. Cheap option would be a vinyl roof. Ugh.....

If i wanted a non shrinking super strong filler type material to do this i would use Devcon metal putty. This is a Milspec product used by the airforce to repair aluminum castings to airworthy standards.

Or do it Mopar-style and glue over some vinyl. ;)
