Possible 1979 w30 purchase

The car will be long gone in 4 months.
I looked at some pics on the internet and the t tops are definitely aftermarket, as long as the guys that are claiming to have factory t top cars are truthful. Now I don’t feel as bad tearing the car apart.

So, what's up?

So definitely aftermarket. I told the kid that bought the car they were but he didn’t believe me. No big deal. Hopefully in a few weeks I’ll harvest some parts for my Malibu and store or sell the rest.

It’s an aftermarket shaft alpine unit that I’m pretty sure works.

The t tops look like the ones in the picture. According to the article they’re hurst tops. They don’t have c c written on them

So I took a look at it this morning before work and the doors and quarters have quite a bit of bondo down low. The nose looks salvageable just has a really crappy paint job. And most of the interior is pretty crappy. There’s 2 h/o badges on the 1/4’s still but other than that the trim was all removed before the repaint. The wheels are decent but one center cap is pitted. The car ran and drove great before the accident so I may wind up pulling the drive train out and throwing it in my Malibu that has a tired 305 in it. If I do that there is t much to part out on this car because a lot of it is just junk. Whoever did the respray and interior painting should be shot, it’s total crap. They also scratched up most of the t top trim and drip rail moldings.

Radio works. I’m still looking for a cassette to test the tape deck. I threw all mine out.
