John_S_in_Penna Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I wonder whether some of the dullness of the paint finish can be buffed out nicely through proper detailing. For now, it looks like the owner is trying to use raindrops to give it a shinier, wetter look. To me, that's not being forthright, but at least he has pictures of a dry condition too that portray the current state more accurately. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingrudy Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Surprised the plastic seat covers have lasted this long. I haven't seen those since my grandfather's Chrysler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 There was a kids show called Barney and Friends that had a purple dinosaur as the main character. If I owned this car for sure it’s nickname would be Barney! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouthcranbrook Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Another car I would like to own. Wonder why it did not sell? Maybe the owner had E-Bay fever and set the opening bid at what he wanted to get? It certainly looks like a good driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
