    Only a Marti report will tell you if that chicken is original to the car. I think that was a dealer package the "Chickencat" or, is that what they call a "chic magnet"?

    Uhhh.....not EVERYBODY. I am still in the "part it" camp.....especially if the rear frame rails are bent.

    Maybe the previous owner's religion was Santeria and they were trying to resurrect the car via chicken sacrifice ...
    if so, I think they succeeded ... you're thinking about fixing it. :rofl2:

    I say go for it!
