    Plowboy needs to get hold of that thing. Wonder what he could make out of it?

    That is so ugly, yet at the same time so cool.

    Does it work?

    I can't believe somebody was going to junk such a complete car.

    413 or 440? I've seen many an air pump made from that A/C compressor. Does that year still have the rectangle steering wheel, or push button auto ?

    I think that rear bumper is smiling at me.

    If you don't find the front end appealing, I wonder if a different front end could be swapped without a lot of trouble. The back view is gorgeous with those fins and such.
     
  21. No 440 yet.

    Gawd don't let Mrs 'beaner see it. She loves those old beasties.

    4 door hardtop? looks like it. its ugly until you put paint on it and some tires and hubs.
    thats a show/street cruiser for sure, all windows down and couple girls in the back, beer in the trunk.............party time. i dig it, esp. for the price. looks like all you need is a carb. i'd bet that'll turn over. now, aint i positive?

    More of a battleship than a tank.

    Do water-skiers complain that it turns too slow?
     
  28. I think its the one with the spaceship/bubble everything!

    I love Imperials. Just so sinister in funeral black.

    This would make excellent fodder for a Steve Taylor-esk conversion into a roadster pickup. Now what to do with the rest of it from the rear doors forward? :D

    Very cool score!
