All I can think of when I see the outside is JFK but that interior is pimp.

Say Portland, won't you be looking at new cars in a bit? I bet this could fill the bill

How can you state this without showing any pictures at all?

New rule.
if bragging about a car, pictures are to be followed.
if not, a possible ban might take place.

cause its stripped down so i can replace all the rusted out body panels these cars are known for. Floors, doors and both rear quarters... Each quarter panel is 7.5 feet long.
Also no one makes replacement parts for this car, you have to source original sheet metal from parts cars in dry states like AZ, CA etc.

but since you asked for pics......

This is after i bought it, stripped the front of the engine down to the timing chain, replaced that, rebuilt the fuel pump, and carb, flushed, painted, fixed radiator and expansion tank and was able to move it under its own power. Body work doesn't look to bad, but its amazing what bondo can hide, the entire drivers side quarter panel was made out of this bondo/fiberglass crap, no metal left to it.



Here is an early picture when i started cutting out the cancer in the floors, which was pretty much the entire floor pans. Had to fab some bracing for the rears and replaced the bracing and pans in the front.


After all welded, sealed and painted with rust-x



One of the quarter panels removed


and then replaced with a rust free donor panel.


I already have the passenger quarter off the car, i just have to weld the new one on and fix a couple of the door bottoms but its too damn cold in new england right now. More to come in spring.

I've always liked those things too. And black has never suited a car more than one of those.
