Looks like a dream retirement location - parking for projects, and a great view from the porch! Glad you can save #000034! You have some body work ahead of you. Don't despair!

Welcome to the Century Club! Nice find. There aren't many around, and I rarely see them for sale. Mine also has aluminum bumper supports, and a steel hood. I'm curious on the condition of the headliner, rear plastic, and package tray? Your tail lights, and front bumper fillers ( hard to find parts ) look to be in usable condition. Tail lights, bumper fillers, package tray, and headliner... unobtainium. My wife wants me to sell mine, but it's the rarest car I have, so it's a keeper. Unfortunately, it has sat unstarted, for over a year. I do have some nice parts though. I need to finish my Salon before I move any further on this one. Looking forward to see what you do with yours.

Original Arizona car. Guy was driving it daily.

It's a vinyl top.

yes all the fillers are good except the rear bumper/gas filler area one is busted up. Drivers front was bent outta shape as the bumper was bumped and slid over and had pinched it for however many years but it’s definitely useable and the other fronts are sorta mis shaped a bit., they are stapled on in spots from factory looks like. The rear package trey is massive!!! It’s ok shape but aftermarket speakers cut into the factory speaker spots so it’s cut the side plastics look dry rotted a bit but are there and sorta pink now.. missing ashtray I’m guessing its the same as any othe g body? Send me a picture of yours???
Dash is very regal like if not 99 % the same so I assume the ashtray will be too.
The headliner isn’t even sagged out but you can see these patterned spots in it like they have leached through from something...? Decent running 305 and almost everything else works.
wonder how many of these were made?
