Stoked to see that other one. There’s gotta be pictures of this car somewhere. I put a post on the Street is Neat Facebook group and some guy chimed in thinking he saw a similar one with welded doors at a show in northern Illinois in the early 80’s. Seems plausible with the paint scheme and whatnot. Probably an older build freshened up in the 70’s with that mural on the side. But it should be pretty easy to spot in pictures. Old hot rods are the greatest.
I was looking over the parts a little bit. Those two Bolt motor Mounts in the center are early 303/324 Oldsmobile Right? Also it’s got red paint underneath the brown on the grill shell and the fender. Also Looked at the brake hoses and they’ve got a 09/30/77 DOT date on them so it seems plausible it was on the road around there. I couldnt make heads or tails out of any codes on the tires. The rears are amoco cxv’s. Came out in 71, found ads for them in the early 80’s. Doesn’t really help any but maybe worth noting. Detective work Is fun
