TerryB Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I’m afraid to ask what a repacked brake system is. Creative use of colors😀. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 I just noticed the license tag is 2019. Either off the road for years or old pictures... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wells Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Easy low rider project. Just add: Fender skirts Headlight eyebrows More fog lights A Necker knob Curb feelers Radio antennas Grille guard Back-up lights 13", 100 spoke chrome wheels Wider white walls And hydraulics (even though it looks lowered already) Panel painting on the doors, optional Let's not make suggestions as to how to "improve" that interior Otherwise, paint it beige and give it to your grandmother. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deac Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) The seller was being creative with the 2 tone paint job. Unfortunately the colors he chose does not work well with each other. There was an early 50's Pontiac I think was posted here a few months back painted in a root beer color and it was stunning. That root beer color might go well on this car in place of the gray metallic! In my book this car will not be a collectors dream and trying to keep original is not a must. Therefore have some fun with paint colors. I have seen some old cars with fantastic non-original paint. I think a year or two back the was a Dodge posted and it a BMW's brilliant blue metallic paint, that little old 4 door Dodge came alive!

Fossil Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Another one of those “what were they thinking” cars . Nothing a couple cans of Rustoleum wouldn’t fix. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
