My dad bought this car about 12 or 13 years ago and we never have really done anything major to it, but he has been wanting to freshen up the interior. I ordered new Legendary skins and ACC carpet for starters and began to take it apart. I restored the seat tracks while the upholstery was being installed and also did some repair work on the floorpans. The pans were thin in the rear footwell area, but did not want to get into replacing them right now, so I took a wire wheel to them and coated them with POR15 and some bondoglass over the tiny holes. Replaced the body plugs in the floor and put some new jute down before installing the new carpet. Seats turned out great, new foam buns for the buckets made a huge difference, will be much more comfortable for cruising Woodward this summer!:D. Also going to restore the wheels, do some work on the dash and put a new rear main seal in it this spring. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks guys, it is pretty unique. One of those cars I couldn't imagine ordering that way in `71, but what a kool car!. It is in a registry as one of 172 and that is not taking in to account the color combo.
