Love seeing these well preserved , mostly original, narrow body cars. My '75 left the factory just like yours (just Gemini Blue) but was butchered up long before I found it. Like yours, she was being left to a slow death (mine was about to be sold for scrap metal). I am resurrecting it slowly, but she will never look like yours again. Mine arrived on a trailer too, not running, windows blown out, stock 1975 suspension was a wreck, brakes were seized.......Now she runs and drives pretty well.....and I have REALLY loved getting her going and enjoying the whole process. Enjoy the ride.

My advice, do the minimum you need to get her driving first. They get to the rest. Being able to drive these cars cures any frustration you might have with "not having them done yet."

The community here as been fab to me when I had issues/questions. Searching these forums too has been an absolute goldmine of information!

A belated welcome to the P-Car club, welcome to the air-cooled club, welcome to Pelican, and welcome to the mid-year club (74-77).

Loving you're progress.

Day 1


Now, running, driving, and headed to DRT soon!


Amin......if you need to do the A/C, I have done both a rework of the original (on my '89, still very similar to your car) and the Classic Retrofit electric A/C (VERY trick and great....but not that original. Ping me if you have questions, when the time comes.
