Izit just my monitor, or does the side indent stop at the front edges of the doors???

Izit (A) just my monitor, or (B) does the side indent stop at the front edges of the doors???

Definitely (B), Bob. 'Looks like some rusty front fenders have seen serious work and "lost" that definition line at the rear edge(s).

Or possibly fiberglass, too?

I dunno, but the recreation was, shall we say, less than faithful. BP

Very likely fiberglass fenders as noted above. They are a little wavy, and notice the absence of vent doors.

[Studedude]

Not perfect.

Not terrible for a (possibly negotiable) BIN of $13.5K.

(It's not a four door 6 banger rust bucket sedan sitting on the ground.)

I was a couple days late in buying this car off Craigslist. I was going to do the same thing this guy is doing. The car looked pretty solid and a decent driver. I just missed it. It was for sale on CL for $4500. I just didn't see it in time. Too bad for me. I think its certainly worth up to 10K or I would not have bothered to call.
But thanks for the heads up. I've got my eye on another one though. We'll see how that turns out.

$4,500.00, in CA? WOW!

I would have shipped it here for that!

I believe this guy stole my interior. LOL

[sals54]

The interior is one of the things I was going to change. Those bucket seats are original 65 GTO bucket seats. They would probably bring a healthy amount of cash on ebay all by themselves... and could easily be replaced by another, cheaper set of replacements.

My first thought was that they might be fiberglass too. Sorta look similar to the old repops that N&A made years ago.

Glass fenders or whatever, its not a bad looking Stude. I haven't seen any in that color. It looks good.

[Flashback]

The only thing I would "HAVE" to change would be to lower the rear a little and tuck the tires under some. Then, I would drive the hair off it.
