No it was repainted and poorly at that. They didn't really remove anything and just taped it all off. It's a original silver car.

I remember you saying the frame is pretty nice and you guys won't be lifting the body off of this one. Going back to silver?

Nowhere Man that's going to make a good car . I vote for silver . I always enjoy finding little pieces of history during the dissemble stage . And finding nos tidbits to put it back is a plus . Good luck with your build and thanks for the post and pictures ! nrbc7

The more we dig into this car the more he wants to pull the frame to do it right but I agree on doing it and it's going to be super easy to do so. We removed four of the body mount bolts and the came out like we put them in last week it's going back to silver no question

I have one of those NOS power antennas. My father bought it many many years ago and it's still in the box, looks just like that one. I'll be putting it on here soon.

Nice find of that car and that NOS antenna - I can't imagine what that bit cost.
