For anyone who has not seen this car for sale a while back and is interested in it, I may still have a bunch of pics of it. I went and looked at it about a month or so ago. Well worth saving, but does need work.

Oh, and the lady selling it has had it for I think she said about 20 years. She is not your average "I don't know anything about cars" girl either. She knows her stuff pretty good.

I know that she had some NOS side louvers. Seems to me it was only enough for one side if I recall right. We talked on the phone for a long time about this car.

body looks good, how is the body when you saw the car Carl? Looks like the one I used to have in the 80s, except mine had a bent front frame from flying of the hi-way and into the ditch, (Hi-way runs from top of Inkster Blvd to Portage ave, can't remember the name, hit a lot of ice and the car stoped turning, no tracks for 50 yards, then boom). Bent front fornt drivers side frame, bent spindle, replaced eveything and got the frame straightened. About a year or so later, the font drivers side started to sag a bit again, they said it might when they straightened it. But it was a solid car till that. If I had the room, time and money, would be a good project.
The body is not bad at all. It has a few rust spots, but it didn't appear to be rotten like some are where you can push a screwdriver through wherever you wish.
Well worth fixing I'd say.
