Great car, great year and if the body is sound I would consider the asking price quite reasonable.

Is this located in Texas? Not sure where Odessa is located. Google search shows Texas.

You have two different sets of wheels, which does the car come with? Do you have any other outside pics and interior pics?

I find it unbelieveable this car is still for sale. That's an extremely good price.

I know, it's shocking to me too. I paid $10k less for a car that I've torn down to a shell that needed a top to bottom rebuild. Had something like this been an option, the extra $$$ would have been a no brainer for something I could get in and have fun with while I was building it.

It's not a good time for me for such an expenditure, but it's tempting to have a chat with the wife, ya know what I mean?
That's a shame though, I feel bad for ya man. THis should have been gone a year ago (in my opinion).
But if it's still here when I'm ready..... :)

I find it strange as well. When I was looking all I could find were rotted cars. Its a nice car and it runs great, especially now that the whole suspension is new, the guys at Hills got the brakes dialed in perfectly.

Very nice car, what’s the condition of the paint? When was it painted?

I bought the car with the paint job it currently has, it looks nice from 10 feet away, but up close you see the flaws.

That's a daily driver, period. Not a show queen, or a trailer queen.
That car needs to be driven. Every. Single. Day. (except during salt/snow days, of course)
Perfect for what I want.

Dude.... you have no idea....
Tried again this morning with the wife. Showed her the 'porn shots' again.
Still not in the card at this time. Especially while we're still paying hers off. :crying:
Oh.... and today's my Birthday. I tried going that route, but it's still a "No".

Car is temporarily off the market, I have negotiated a trade with a local paint shop, paint and bodywork in exchange for equipment.

Well the whole upper portion of the car is going to have to be replaced. We found that the previous work was not only bad, but they used foam filler to use as a base for the Bondo to keep from replacing metal and covering the pits and holes. The car is getting the roof, rear deck panel and upper quarter panels replaced.
Sad to see the amount of dishonest work that was done to cover the bad sheet metal.

It was a landau top, they chose to use foam and Bondo to make the repair.

I'm actually glad I decided to paint it, I already got the parts delivered today so hopefully it will come out flawless.
