Julie purchased the car brand new in 1974 and used it literally as a grocery-getter and bingo cruiser once a week. She had been hospitalized for several months and after returning home, she handed Jim the title while he was paying her one of many visits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is truly the little old lady\u2019s car from down the street!\u201d<\/p>– Jim<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The car had 28,000 original owner miles on the odometer and is powered by a 250ci straight six with optional rear defroster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The car did sit for about three years prior to Jim working on it, so some rusting was inevitable, and a quick paint job was thrown on it for now. Once Jim can fully strip the car, he will spray it with a sweet paint job. The interior is currently being switched from Sandalwood to Black. Future plans include a full body restoration and paint job, and maybe even an engine upgrade in the next year or two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlthough it\u2019s not an SS, or ’68-’72, it still draws a lot of attention and gets nice comments from the public.\u201d<\/p>– Jim<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
