Can you identify this car under the cover?

[Zymurgy]

I am painting a customers house and they have this really cool old shop. It is in my home town and it sits off the road. I never noticed that it was built on a hill. After a closer look I discovered there was a 4 door garage on the lower floor.

I got nosey and started looking through the windows. The shop is in excellent shape and I discovered this car under a cover. I do not know what it is but I bet someone here can identify it from the distinctive rear window shape. It looks like an early 70's car, but I don't know because I am dealing with the owners niece, the original owners in a nursing home and is 90 years old.

That's too easy.
1969 Mercury Maurader X-100 1 of 1 4 speed and air.

Now gimme something hard.

Something told me you might get it Stan. It was driving me nuts that was fast.

Wrong. Its a 68' Pontiac GTO

Pull the cover, I don't believe it. Looks like the *** end of a goat to me.

That is exactly what kind of car I was going to guess (but not the 4 speed part)

That's too easy.
1969 Mercury Maurader X-100 1 of 1 4 speed and air.

Now gimme something hard.

I'll admit the 4 speed and/or A/C is iffy.........
And the X-100 thingie also.
I wasn't able to mentally image the VIN through the monitor.

six pennies a nickel and a dime, thats it

Stan has to be right. The shop is locked up so I can't get in, but the rear window it dead on and the trunk (which is not in the picture) is squared off like the Marauder.

Next week is good, perhaps we can get some other guess's.

 

[Zymurgy]

Looking at the body style it could be a 69 or 70.

 

[polara71]

To be able to nail it down like that and that quick is pretty good, nailing a year, engine size, transmission type and color would all be a lucky guess.

 

[Zymurgy]

I would bet that it is completely unmolested original owner car. I will stick with Stan's '69 X-100, 429 and 4-speed. The man would have been 46, the perfect mid life crisis car. He had no kids, so no kids to put through college. The family I'm dealing with are his nieces.

I think that's a great guess Stan and I look forward to the unveiling.
