No A/C but appears to be a very nice car! I really like this one, except for Wile E.

Yep, I would say it's been painted a different color.
 
Judging by the white overspray on the mesh on the cowl and the hood hinges and inner fenders I'm thinking this car is a mess in person.
 
Sorry. I'm looking at it on my phone where every car looks good. I'll see it better tomorrow on my desktop.

Upon further review the overspray on the cowl mesh might be the sun shining through the hood vents. I stand by my obsevation on the inner fenders and hood hinges though.
 
Left rear quarter panel looks a bit suspicious and uneven and the right door edge as well, trunk lid doesn't line up. Mechanically obviously untouched with the rusty master cyl. and booster and messy engine compartment at all and white is very kind to sloppy body work.
 
The other item where the color doesn't seem to match is the cowl to fender brace which I believe would be the same as the body color. Here it almost look to be a silver color. Then where it meets the fender the inner apron has white over spray along the top as mentioned. Also note the bubbles in the chrome of the frame around the vent window. The lower right side of the valance panel clearly does not align with the bottom of the rear quarter. Make that both sides.
 
Looking at it on my desktop with the pics blown up, it's a cruise night looker.
$399 Presidential Special Maaco paint job probably at the the expense of routine items he should be fixing instead.

Nothing pisses me off more that to see a car that grabs your eye at the other end of the parking lot and upon closer examination that's all it is. A paint job. Nothing else done. A perfumed pig.

:bs_flag: ............... You wanna rethink that?
 
Wow, tough crowd... :mob:

I do see some of the flaws mentioned. I missed the valance panel though. I figured the panel alignment was just original Chrysler quality control. Certainly this is one you'd need to see in person. Still a pretty thing though.
