I just looked at it. And thanks all for the comments. Tcleamont, your comments are right on, I am familiar with the segment it is in and agree, I also agree about the bumpers (these are good, no frame problems or rust and the junction points). I also agree with all three of you that the '76 and '77 are some of the nicest looking cars, Handsome is how I would describe them, as for the '68 or '69 year models, I would call them "muscular" or "tuff". The doors do sag, I can fix the hinges. I am also aware of the parts problem, fortunately the body is in VERY GOOD, maybe almost FINE condition. The hood emblem is missing, the landau vinyl roof is in excellent condition, paint is very good still has good shine to it and all original. The rock gaurds in front of the rear wheel wells are intact and perfect. Head liner intact and perfect, seat surfaces in very good condition, door panels in very good condition. The plastic piece in front of the rear window that trims between the door jamb edge and the rear interior panel is a little sun faded but only the one on the driver's side. Engine is in good to very good condition, brakes excellent with new pads and shoes, new lines. New tires, A/C blows cold (unbelievable) must have been serviced recently. Well, anyway what am I doing trying to convince myself. I haven't fallen in love with it so that my heart races when I look at it or talk about it but I realize how nice the body is and how nice the interior is, those are two big plus items. Well, thanks for the feedback. Now the deliberation time comes.
