The interior is complete and in nice restorable condition with third row seating, third row seat is in excellent shape. The front and rear seats need to be recovered. Nice floorboards. Interior side panels are nice as well, although they need recovering they are not rusty.

Original jack and AM radio.

Original Protecto Plate card and build sheet included with the owner's manual.

All of the hinges look great.

Now the bad.

The lower six to eight inches of the rear quarters will need to be replaced.
It will need lower patch panels in both front fenders.
The right rear quarter was hit at some time and will need to be attended to.

That's about it.
Floors are great!
Frame is great!
Specialty hinges and joints are all in great condition.
Roof is great!
Vista glass is excellent driver quality.

Nice builder. That'll be a nice car when done.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get those front interior speaker kick panels? I have only seen them in black and yours are green which is what I would like to have. Thanks.

They're tan. They look like they were dyed.

Kool Kar Tom. I hope someone takes this one on. Nice project.

So, in the absence of any real interest and or offers, I am moving this car into the Parts For Sale section.

If you would like to sell those kick panels with the speakers, let me know. Thanks.

I've started selling parts off of this car. It had been moved to the parts for sale section.

With the body and frame already sold I guess there's no turning back now.

man that makes me ill

not that i stepped up and bought it or anything but geez that car looked pretty good

But look at the good side. It'll be providing many needed parts for other cars.

It's tuff but some cars must be sacrificed so that others may live on.

This car is coming apart amazingly easy. The rust was limited to the lower rear quarters.

I am labeling everything a placing the parts up on shelves for safe keeping.

The rear seat is in great shape as is the jump seat. The interior trim is in amazing shape too.

Let me know if you need anything.

I've sold the Vista Glass, the body tub, exhaust, rear end.
Still plenty of parts left on this beauty
