Jav, check the VIN to see it was originally Dove Gray.

real nice one. firewall looks to be original color, yes?
Formals look better in dark colors.... except the Salons.

bought one of these cars many years ago. same color coupe with the st regis package. swapped a 440 into it. great car, never broke down or got arrested in it. rotted up to the window sills though and i scrapped it. only part i saved was the working power antenna...

He just won't quit, will he....
But are they working scoops? That’s the real question.

They worked for the guy who put them on, anyway. Just about nobody since.

Hey - I could pay $50 and have them scoops photoshopped right the hell off there!!!

Waydaminnit. Is this my old 78 barn find NYB with fresh paint???
It was sold to a guy in the Miami area.

If it is, it looks like the wheel covers were changed/upgraded.
As far as the hood scoops go - working scoops or not, they don't work. Who's Stan?

^^ If you're talking about the wheel covers for that grey '78....those are premium wheel covers for the '78's. I've seen them on '76, '77 models and Cordobas!

I like them, I'm just saying they look different than what are on the other car.

I've been looking for very nice set of those wheel covers for two years....nothing!
None of them lasted - I bought an NOS set many years ago and when I actually installed them they disintegrated quite rapidly. Very poor construction IMO.

I sold my Premium wheel covers when I replaced them with Road Wheels.
Got a good chunk of change for them

That grey color,interior,and,regular vinyl roof,which i prefer,prettiest 2 door formal i,ve ever seen.It sets off pleasure spikes in the brain.When i had Formals from 1990 to 1993, they were easy to find,always will regret not stockpiling the bumpers,interiors,windshields and other chrome pieces.I just hope future collectors see the beauty in highway driving these fusey and formal chryslers.I loved it when i had them.B.B

Waaaah.Damn those Derby Guys!!!!Heh.Why can,t they just use 70,s Lincolns? Their are tons of those left.Chryslers, are just more rare.but i guess the good thing is that handful of owners saw the baroque beauty in these cars and garaged a select few of them.the fusey Imps. are scarce more so and the most desired for their size and shape.They just look a little evil.But beautiful to.It,s that monster front end.Don,T MESS,WITH,ME!!! Heh,remake christine with a fusey imp.On fire chasing scum!! Heh,B.B
