Cool picture. That car was my daily driver for 2 years, later owned by Wiggy, and later restored by a guy in FL. Glad to see it getting some use.

Here is a picture of it in its unrestored state when Wiggy owned it:

That is unrestored? Does not look as there was much need of changing anything.

One outside respray done in 1976. Other than that it was virtually untouched. OG drivetrain, OG interior, OG paint on the interior, it was an exceptionally honest split. I haven't seen a better one since.

I personally loved the car original, but to each his own. The new owner is happy with a restored split, and he got a great car.

God I miss that car. I should have never ever sold it. Too bad its restored, but great to see its at a great home.
