Seen this at the JY today. It had a custom grill and real wood interior panels on the dash and doors. I pulled all of it. Will post pics as soon as I get them.

That big hole in the front roof of the interior was a TV at one time.

What a shame. I can't even tell what could have happened to it to make it deserve to be put into a scrap yard assuming a lot of that rust and damage has occurred over time while it has been in the yard. Thanks for salvaging the parts and preserving them.

Been waiting on those pics! Not a huge fan of wood grain, but that grille is pretty slick.

I have seen people scrap a running driving car before because it was old or in their way.

It looks like a hearse...I wonder what kind of structural integrity that fiberglass shell had compared to the original roof. Good find!
