Duuuude....
That thing is mint.....
Throw a few rust blisters on there and you'd have mint chocolate chip🤔
I'd wheel itđź‘Ť
They’re there you just can’t see them hiding under the tree sap🤣. Believe it or not what you see is after I pressure washed it at car wash!

Parts chasing only day today. Had the water pump come in. That is a major concern as the front bearing on it literally sounds like the belt slipping. And front swaybar bushings and links.
Had to spend about an hour or so find the front strut rod bushings so the front end can get aligned at some point. Plus ordering tires. The ones on it are dry rotted BAD! Still holding air though 🤣

Cool car, you would need a city block to park it. Best part about cars from the mid 70's is their price, cheap. The 500 Cad is a good motor and throws down massive torque even in that cars neutered state. Plus highway mileage should be surprisingly good. In town, probably single digit but that car is meant for the open road in luxury.

Oh it’s single digits! The quadrajet loves drinking from a standstill!
