Kate Souza, Blackstone, Mass. Mfg Date ??????? Body RO21208, Model 7079-7 Trim 063F, Paint 84A Prod # E041111, VIN # AOC797P209262 360, auto, floor shift, transistor AM radio. I am not the original owner and my car is not for sale. I just bought this car in the fall of 2003,from Bridgewater, Mass. The car has two previous known owners from PA. I Am currently doing the restoration, I have the motor and tranny pulled out. Going to be soda blasted. I haven't decided what color to piant yet though. Car was last on the road in 1989. Body is in good shape for never having been resored. (I have discovered recently that the car had undergone some restoration.) May 2004 update from Kate: The engine had been rebuilt. The whole outside of the car has been stripped. The hood, fender and doors are in primer and are time stakingly being made to be as straight as possible. I am going to get a whole right quarter this week off an Arizona car. And in the meantime I will be searching the area for a left quarter. We decided to replace both quarters, so not to have any waves from the plastic filler and to minimize the amount of filler used. I also should have the engine compartment painted and in, and the tranny in, by the end of June so it will be running again soon. My estimated time is late August for the body work to be completed, (Depending on different factors of course). |
