got my '77 home today

i made a post last week about a blue '77 that i had bought. i took the today and went to Williamstown, Ky (about 1 1/2 hours from me) and picked it up. the car was everything i expected, and a little more. the car also came with the original owners manual, Bodyguard rust-proofing certificate from '77, original window sticker, starting instructions manual & more!

this was a pretty nicely optioned car, too bad the rear frame rails are gone this would have been a great car to save but the dr side frame rail is already gone to where the leaf spring is hitting the trunk floor.... and the passenger side is almost there. the car had a strange bench seat interior :16suspect that i have never seen before, not even in pictures, but the window sticker explains alot.

that seat is the same as the one in oddball4door's car

 

looks like a good parts car

 

Wow that's a cool seat. Nice car, too bad it's rotten..lots of parts there.

 

do the seats recline ??

 

i dont think they recline, but i know both fold forward individually

 

I've never seen one of those before (that I can remember)

 

Oh yea? Let my fat butt sit in 'em for a few minutes... They'll recline!

Seriously, that is one clean looking car. It's almost worth the time & trouble of changing out the rear frame rails! I know if I had access to the old shop I used to work in, that puppy would be on the lift with the metal burning and the sparks flying!

me neither. not even in the gallery. and it's called a "flight bench seat" on the window sticker :confused: so it's unique to say the least

 

Does that meen that it's supposed to make the car go faster???

-Scott H.

 

of course. i mean it does have the "big" six 250

 

I have seen a few of the seats. Never owned one though.

 

Soooooo what is for sale if any ???

 

Awesome, should make a good parts bin for a Comet. lol jk I like that front seat!

 

keeping the center caps, wheels are sold, disc brakes are sold, sport mirrors are sold, rear end is sold, and im keeping the seats. everything else is for sale
