I like it especially the rims. What color is that? Looks like butterscotch. Can you post some better pictures?

Can't really go wrong with a big block, 4 speed, chrome bumper C3. It looks like it has some '70s custom mods. I'll 2nd on "how about some better pictures" so we get to see the entire car?
Good luck with your new ride!

I got her late last year from the second owner. His title was from 1978. She was originally factory Ontario Orange with Saddle interior. Complete motor and tranny rebuild in 1992-1993. Repair tickets list break-in mileage started at 86,811 and ended at 87,162 on 11-8-1993. She now has 91,764 on her and has not been driven since 2010. I am working hard to remedy that!! The previous owner and his son used the same paint to detail the rims using model car brushes when the car was painted. More and better pics as soon as I finish replacing the master cylinder and bleed the system.
