I can go back and take a closer look if anyone is interested. He says it has AC which might be rare.

A/C and power windows on a convert, pretty neat...

Yes, it's an a/c car. I'd love to swap the power windows & a/c into my convertible. The door panels are the correct color (sandalwood interior) for my car.

It is a nice colour combination, very summery.

If you go by again, please check:
- disc brakes? Look for the "Disc Brakes" emblem in the middle of the brake pedal.
- 12 bolt differential or 10? Easiest way to tell is if it has a single bolt on the bottom, it's a 10. If 2 bolts it's a 12.
- now this might be hard to see: the Astro Vents on each side of the dash - is the entire nozzle (the part that swivels left/right) chrome, or just the lip of the nozzle chrome?
- rear speaker? it'd be in the right rear armrest.
- rear defog? it'd be a rocker switch on the dash by the top switch.

Too big a car for someone. All 4 corners stuck out too much.

Looks like a good car for the money, looks solid.

Wrong side of the country for me.

Had another look at the car. Current owner has had it for 4 years, sat in a building for 20 years previous to him. He says trunk and floors are relatively clean. This is rattlesnake country, so I wasn't going to lay under it where it sat. They like shady places. It has a 12 bolt rear, drum brakes, 350 4 bbl, dual exhaust. No rear speaker or defog. Car started right up, no blue smoke. He drove it last year, but has not insured it this year. Can't post photos from my phone for some reason, so I'll add them this evening.

Oh and the vents were chrome, but wearing off.

Thanks John. The chrome vents mean prior to the mid-year change. May also have the early throttle linkage that was replaced by cable.

I forgot to ask about tinted glass.

 I think that's the same body color as Vince's 454 Safari Estate wagon.  I think it also has sandalwood interior, but not sure. Not

So here are some more photos. Should have got one of the cowl tag.

I can read paint code 34 which is Mint Turquoise, but can't really read the trim code. Looks like a Medium Sandalwood interior which would be code 452, but that one's pretty tough to read. I wonder how much work it'd be to get the a/c working.

Throttle linkage so before the mid-year change to cable.

It's a good thing it's about a 10 hour drive from me as it could be an interesting project to drive as a summer beater.

 Yes... #34 and interior #343. Zooming in on the tag, the trim almost looks like 356. Looks like a first week of December car. The coolant system looks in dire straits are flushing by the looks of the rust at the coolant shut off valve and the rad cap. If it is anything like the 70 2+2 convertible I got out of BC many years ago, hopefully it isn't as rusted as that one.

Hmmm... attempted to lighten and sharpen the pic a little.  Not sure if it helps, though.

Yes, I thought maybe your interior was saddle. It's more brown than beige.

  Had to go out to the shop to get my book. Looks like #366, Sandalwood.

I was interested in the car, spoke with the owner and he provided more photo's.   A few things limited how much I could offer:

a/c didn't work, and has been disconnected for decades.  It looks like one of the lines of the condensor had been cut,

one top cylinder leaks,

drivers door doesn't open, rod has somehow come off,

front seat needs reupholstering,

all 4 corners are banged in.

I wasn't able to cut a deal, but said keep each other in mind.

Yesterday I shot him a note asking if he still had it, and he said it was on ebay with the auction ending last night.  I found his listing, and it had a fairly short description, and his photo's weren't the best.     To my surprise it sold for $4800 Cdn.  

I really didn't need another car.
