Why, why do that to a 1971!

It looks like a New Orleans Whorehouse on wheels.

There's only one way to redeam that car...

1) Strip out the Barbie interior.



2) And convert it to a race car. That color is perfect for a race car!



Has anyone ever seen a properly liveried Marlboro sponsored race car? The classic "Marlboro red" is in fact the loudest -- brightest shade of pink that I've ever seen.

Did anyone see the hole in the left rear fender from what appears to be flung up road debris?

Hey isn't that an "S" serial number for the chassis?

"9111300082"

Could be a steal if its just fugly, and not a rust bucket as well...

Looks like it might be rust-through from a bad job of welding on the Turbo flares?

That car sounds like a serious abortion. Take it apart and start all over again.

It states that it's a bank repo, don't think I would take a chance on this one unless I could look it over real close & even then your still looking at big money to restore it. I wonder what the reserve is.
