    Score

    DSO 21, the old Title shows the prior owner in Macon, GA.
    Car was in a VERY remote area near Butler.

    Gonna clean it up some today and see what's under the dirt. For now would like to get it going mechanically and drive it as is a survivor.

    Congrats. I like that color ... Hopefully its solid .. doors and hood look rotted. Barns are definitely better than carports.

    Floors are excellent - including the trunk. Still has original carpet and the gray speckled paint in trunk. The Hood lip is totally rusted out though ?? Also has a rusted spot under the battery tray. Lower edge of doors showing a little rust but not too bad.

    One thing I noticed is that the Hood does not have the typical Grabber blackout/striping ??? Wonder if that was a delete option or maybe it's a replacement hood ?

    You can weld in a front section from a good standard hood and be good to go (y)
