Very clean 240! For it being 1977 that has EXTREMELY low miles, looks like it was garaged most of its life.
Do you like those hubcaps on the car? I think with the black wheels underneath look 10xbetter. But then again it keeps that classic look the with hubcaps on.
Did the car come with power windows?

10-10-2010, 09:57 PM #4Thanks! I LOVE the hubcaps. Definitely give it the classic look. The power windows are original as far as I know. Not sure how accurate the odometer is, wasn't working when I bought it. I fixed it at 126k, and it now has 141k on it. I replaced the dashboard, steering wheel, carpet and replaced all interior bits with palomino pieces when I bought it. Only thing that is still bamboo are the seats. Doesn't look bad at all.

(10-19-2010, 09:35 AM)winmutt The nailpolish is pretty heavy tho no?
Theres a speed trap near a neighborhood by my house and i tested the car going 35mph before and after i painted it and i did not see any difference. The needle moves close to exactly how it did before.
