Parked in my neighbour’s car port. Gran Lemons. Still has an inspection sticker on the windshield, NC hasn’t done that for years. Plate expires January of 1991.

Not many of these around. Probably not worth saving either.

It would be fun to have unlimited amounts of money and take a clunker like this and give it a full restoration. Just for the fun of driving a pristine version of an utterly unremarkable car.

Might not take too much to get running again, though the gas tank is probably toast. The cosmetics are where the money is, but a new headliner and a wax job would be enough.

Might be a fun and pointless way to waste some perfectly good money on a time waster project.

If they could’ve gotten it running two years ago, that black registration sticker would’ve looked current!

As a restoration candidate it’s certainly not worth saving, but unless the interior has become a home for the neighborhood wildlife I bet it could be put back on the road fairly inexpensively.

Wonder what it would take to get it driveable (nothing cosmetic) ... I’d love to see one coming down the street.

I extremely tempted to buy it and daily drive it.

Probably not much. Gas is junk, but freeing everything up should get it going. Old American lumps. I started the Dodge in 2010 after sitting since 1997 with new points, plugs, and a new gas tank. The brakes were a mess though.

I’d rock it.
