Default Another neglected C3

My wife took me to a furniture auction last night. While taking a walk outside, I found this 77 stored in the back of the lot.

A bright yellow, black cloth interior, L-82, automatic. The paint appears to be original. The car apparently has not been on the road since 2005.

Hopefully someone will give the diamond in the rough some attention soon.

When the tires are sunk into the ground it always makes me wonder how bad is what we can't see.

Not entirely original paint, in the back anyway. Not with the bumperettes painted over.
