Oh, that’s easy! It’s a ‘69 442 2-door hardtop with the 350 hp 400 V8 with a 4-speed. It has cruise control, rear window defogger, power seats, power brakes with front discs, and an AM radio. Looks like a great candidate for restoration!

Slap that description on it and it’ll bring high dollars at BJ auction.

I think pressure washing and little buffing it will be ok.

Old IHOP car, pancake mobile. I wonder what headers you'd need to get decent ground clearance though...

Here's a guess, 1982 Toyota Cressida.

I think it is a Delta 88 with a 403 with solid web mains.

It looks like it will need a restoration from the ground up. It does come with a "50/50" warranty, when it breaks in half you get to keep both pieces.

That's called an Arkansas warranty, if it breaks in half, you own both halves...
