    Very nice! Always liked the black and white look!

    Mine needs a good cleaning from sitting in the garage over winter, so here's group of filtered shots (first is not filtered)

    That would leave me with an interior, the windows, 4 tires, and a pile of hoses, so no thanks.

    Dude, you will have so much fun restoring that decaying car. It will take you a long time to rebuild, but it will be an achievement once you complete it. You can check out 4wheelonline in case you need aftermarket parts like tires and wheels.

    Hard to say. On paper the Burgundy is the fairest of them all, but the red 'vert drives better right now. Lots of projects lurking and I'm hoping for a new favorite soon.

    Project 2020- bought 3/23/20 like this- inop but close? LOL Paint was gone from the hood and deck. Not a spec of rust on this
    Wisconsin car. It had some tar like goo rust prevention sprayed everywhere underneath and inside doors, trunk, fenders.

    Sent off for paint...engine had been replaced with a 66 425 Q-Jet and it needed mounts, flexplate, tuning, fuel pump, etc.
    Runs well now, it is in my hands for the interior reinstallation.

    Nice sunny and crisp day to get the car out...walked out to it parked and got a quick 360 view to show off its color range:

    Owning four virtually identical cars seems a bit much.

    Here is my latest project. It's a '66 LeSabre Sport Coupe with 23,000 miles. It's a nice car overall. There are some minor battle scars in the paint, but I'm going to leave it alone. The interior is excellent. The drive train is a 340 with Super Turbine. Here's what I have planned:
    Add air conditioning
    Add disc brakes
    Add fuel injection
    Add bucket seats, trying to use the existing bench seat material for covers
    Add console
    Replace 20" wheels with 15" Buick Rally chrome wheels
    Add red line tires
    Restore factory ride height

    I love the body style and it's one you don't see very often. I'm really hoping to have it done for the Nats in Lisle.
