Sad sight. I know it's not a great 60's muscle car but I still find it sad.

I agree. I would hope somebody would save it, and preserve it. One of those lost models due to apathy.

Some things just need to go away. Cant save them all and some just dont matter so parts cars are needed.

I saw the blue color and thought it was a cop car.

I see trim pieces that might be valuable to someone building a Bluesmobile, but not much else.

Never understood the vent windows on these later C's. I used to think it had to do with whether or not the car had AC, but I guess they were 'just' an option?



No vent windows.....

Lol Mr. P no love for the big C bodies from smog era. I still love them. RWD, solid rear axle, t-bar suspension, V8 engine. Lots can be done to these to make them really fun and something different than E's and B's we see a lot of. If I had one it would probably get a stroked 400, frame ties, extra welds, HD suspension parts and that kind of stuff. But keep appearance as stock looking as possible. They were impressive in the A38 package for that time.

Hahaha. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder up

What followed the big C's or even at same time....now here's ugly! These Phords. At about 90mph these things started wandering all over the road, and were unimpressive in every way except compactness. And then remember the Chebbie no-romminya? Awful!

I would enjoy that car. Rebuild the engine with a stroker. E85 for higher compression. Put a cattle guard on it so I can mow down blm people in Minneapolis when I go to work. Anybody doesn't signal gets punted to the ditch. So tired of how my country is failing.
