Thanks! Neat when new! Black car with a Black stripe!

 

[Cuda Hunter]

That was a good looking car!
Is it still around?

 

[PLY478]

It does although it is not in the original configuration at all.

 

[Builderguy]

Less the wing?

 

[PLY478]

Neat car! Yours?

Nope, mine is in my avatar. It will be a month or so before I can start restoring it. I should say "rebuilding" it because I won't be returning it to factory. Some liberties will be taken but not too many!
It will end up pretty close to this. But it will be more along the lines of a 70 look. I will keep the side stripes, kinda like them.
