Well, not what I was hoping for. It's been off the road since 74-75, and who knows how long in the mud it's buried in. The passenger door and maybe the drivers are the only good sheet metal on the car. Fenders and quarters are shot as is the trunk. Has one bucket different from the other, a 500 style in the driver's spot and I don't know what In the passengers. Has a console covered with moss, take A LOT of cleaning to maybe work the hood has rust and the trunk is dented. 383 is seized. Stub frame is in the muddy earth. Bumpers are shot in rear and bent in front. Has some good trim pieces and the glass looks to be in good condition, but I just glanced at the windows. No rear window, and that's when I knew the interior was going to be not so good.
Turbine Bronze car, black interior, would have looked sweet back in the day.
I declined his price for the whole car, but we agreed on a price for the emblems, door mirror and the steering column. I'll think about it til the weekend and throw him an offer for the whole car. Not much to take off the car that doesn't need a lot of attention to get it looking ok. Dash pad looked good, but we couldn't open the driver's door so that didn't help. Lots of oil to lubricate all kinds of crap.
Funny thing is there is a 500 emblem on the driver's fender, passenger side missing, but other than the driver's seat it sure doesn't look like it. I could be wrong. Did the 500's have a plain seatback for the rear seat, or was it the bucket mimicking style like a 300 with buckets, where it dips in the center?
