I had a friend check the car out throughly. He found that someone had put cheater panels on the rear quarters. The car originally had a bench seat. Someone just bolted a set of buckets to floor without the proper brackets. The sheet metal under the rear seat was shot. The front section from the front seats forward was in good shape as was the frame. The trunk pan was rustier than I thought, so that would need to be replaced.
The original color was a "Cream Yellow" with a black interior and top.
It was a 350 w/a 4spd. The mice had made nests thru out the car. The cowl area below the windshield was their "latrine". It was full of mice crap.
I decided to pass on this car, because there would be so much work that would need to be done. If I were to restore this car, I think I would have way more in it than it would be worth, unless it were cloned into an "SS" and I wouldn't do that.
Thanks for all your input Guys, I really appreciate it!
