Just pulled this old girl 4000kms across the Australian desert to get her home. Had intentions of restoration however unfortunately she is probably too far gone considering the extensive rust. Best news is it's not going to waste as I have a wrecked 71 that is in dire need of a number of significant inner structure panels that this old girl has.

I couldn't find any history on the car other than an Ohio plate, and a twin lakes WI sticker, but thought it worthwhile posting some pictures seeing it's likely to become a donor vehicle. It's quite sad because of my three challengers this one feels the most like it has a 'story' to tell.

Looks like it was originally blue (going off paint residue (fender tag is missing). I'll keep digging around as I investigate and keep you all updated!

They can all be saved. It's an E Body do not scrap it or cut it up.

Agree with above postings, AMD probably has everything to bring it back to life.

Good points above. Frame rails are literally the only good part on it, which might be a bit of a saver for it as at least I can work my way up from there with a solid base.
