    Believe it or not.....the AC still blows ICE cold!!!


    Now some scary shots of the passenger rear frame rail. The last 18" is pretty much air:

    And finally....a shot of the MONO AM/FM radio. So Mr. Dan Hines, or anyone else.....is a Motorola radio considered "factory"?

    Ok, so we'll just say it's a "jewel" in the rough. :biglaugh: What are the plans, parts car or are you really going to try and fix it? If the rear frame looks that bad, what's the torque boxes look like? It is a nicely optioned car.
