That is a very nice T-Top car dose it have buckets or bench?

It is just a black roof, not a T top car. The story I was given was that the original owner had the vinyl trim strip replaced once upon a time and they didn't have a brown/gold one, they only had a black one so the owners decided to paint the roof black to have it match.

It's a full bench seat car.

That's odd I wonder why they didn't just paint the molding. Back then I painted the roofs and moldings all the time it was common practice in body shops

This Elco is for sale down the street from me. I'm really tempted to go take a close up look at it, but it's not the right time for me to acquire another car.

Don't have any pictures, but does anyone in the cary nc area drive a black 78-80 el Camino? That and the black century sedan are probably the only other G's in my whole area

Well and the beautiful silver 84 H/O sitting on corvette rallies

She was pretty sicked most people are like don't touch my car that guy was like jump in let dad take a picture you won't hurt it. She got in and asked if she could touch the steering wheel lol I think she liked the horn ring it was an unrestored 65

That's a nice picture. It was nice of the owner to let her sit in it for a photo op. Some people are so particular to the point of being anal.

i occasionally drive my monte carlo over in cary. my dad lives in durham not too far from cary. cary is like the most anti g body city on earth, nothing but new cars and maybe an occasional chevelle or older car with more "status". i did see a low mileage white ss at a lot in cary like a year ago.

admittedly driving a g body in that traffic in that area is somewhat sucky.

yeah I'm pretty sure I'm one out of the entire two g-bodies in Cary

And x2 on the traffic!!!
