Since fenders don't have automatic transmissions or AC, I'd say he found a whole car.

What color is it? It looks like a gold color. But then again, with the sun shining on it, it could be Bittersweet.

I notice the thin stripe going over the wheel looks like they blundered when they taped up the stripe to paint it.

It's Gold and the stripes ain't perfect but then again,I don't care. It needs a total resto but is pretty much complete and original. Thanks for the constructive criticism.

I wasn't trying to be an *** when I mentioned the stripe. I knew someone else would see it and say something, so I figured I'd do it first.

I'd love to find a car like that, even with the stripe problem!

Is it a 70, 71 or 72? I'm guessing 70. BTW some of the stripes put on by the factory were horrible, so that could easily be factory striping. Before you tear it all down, document everything in photos and text. You can bet we'll be watching.

Congrats on the find; hope it turns out to be your dream project.
