I like it. If it's in good structural and mechanical condition maybe it might be a decent deal. Looks like '73 and up gills (?).

My thoughts too.... very cool.

I'll note that I lived in Southern NH (where that car is) and I never noticed it for what it was...
I *had* to have seen it on the beach many times over 20+ years there.

I seem to remember somebody doing that to a hardtop. Never seen it done on a coupe before. If it doesn't rattle around much, it'd be way cool.

I wonder how the rear part is fixed to the body, I can't seem to notice any kind of hinges or latching mechanisms.
