2. Me too!

It's largely restored, already including a new carpet kit. I would hope that it wasn't installed over rot. Based on what I have seen, not everything is as oem as I'd have liked, but it looks like it was done with care.

I wanted something 12-volt, so that limited me to post-67. I kind of wanted a pre-1970, for the bumpers and lights, but This one was a great price considering how much had already been done. 1974's are the second lowest production year. I figure if nothing else, it should generally retain its value.

The whole project-car practice is all new to me. I like to learn. As far as mid-life crises go, this is fairly cheap and innocuous!

It seems like getting it registered is going to be a painful path. Gore1FL Jun 2014 #6
