the custom paint on this car is absolutely amazing. it was done by a guy nick named spook who was very popular in rochester, ny area in the 70s and 80s. theres more pics of the paint in the link
bought the car for $5200 with only 55k miles on it!
let me know what you guys think!

unfortunately spook died 5 years ago and we are definitely never changing the paint it makes the car so much more unique and its an amazing paint job. only problem is theres an inch or so of play in the steering wheel so we might have to replace some of the front end suspension parts but its perfectly driveable, in fact ive put almost 500 miles on it in the past 3 weeks!
car also came with almost new tires but while the interior looks great in pictures its slightly worn
