Found this '66 about a year ago and finally hauled it home today. Still undecided if i will part it or try to find someone who will restore it. It's border line on being worth fixing.

Nice save! Does it just look crooked on the trailer because of flat tires or does it have crash damage on the passenger side?

Sadly only the front fenders are black. Car was originally white. Engine is complete and turns over. Its got lots of rust though. Can't figure why passenger front is so low, maybe broken torsions?

Wow, to be in that condition and not have a cracked dash is very cool

Hello,

I'm happy to say that this Pigalle Fastback is currently in Poland and will be rescued. I will let you know about the progress of the renovation.

Congratulations!

Looking forward to progress on it.

I agree most of the interior looks like it can be saved
