So I bought this Red 74 with a friend to be a car we part out. Well after taking a good look at it I can't bring myself to part it. Yes it has rust issues, but overall the bones are very good.
As you can see jack post are gone and the passenger side door jam has good size hole behind the latch plate, but only in that area. I haven't dug into the hell hole yet, but the battery tray and support is pretty solid. So the plan is a stock look restoration with very few "upgrades". Only changes from stock would be a more modern radio and GASP........ AC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) So here are the pictures................. Attached image(s)
