Posted December 7, 200618 yr comment_191797 Well, The transport truck called me last night at 10:30 pm to see if I wanted my car now or wait until in the morning.......of cousre I said bring it now. Here are a few pictures of how it looked this morning. I have done nothing to the car yet, but that all changes today. I want to get it back to a more original 240. Since I bought this car over the internet with only pictures I was very anxious about the condition, to my relief it was better than I expected. It's a 1973, original color, very little rust, none on frame rails. Floors are about 95% with just the passanger side needing a little attention. Car has lived in Texas and now will reside in Tennessee. The wheels are coming off this week as I have the originals and waiting on the hubs. All the carpet is coming out and the vinyl diamnond pattern will be put back in. Engine runs great, I drove it maybe 20 miles home last as I had to meet the transport at a well lite exit, and the car ran wonderful. Well, I could ramble on and on, but here are some photos. I will be posting very soon as I'm sure I will have many, many questions during my refurbishing.

December 7, 200618 yr Author comment_191845 Thanks folks, I did find some hubs, but no radio yet...and I'm not sure what these wheels are, but they are coming off as I want the original's on. I just finished ripping out all the carpet and had a HUGE surprise....The original diamond pattern vinyl was underneath the carpet in PERFECT condition, I couldn't believe it. I'll post some more photos as I go along the "refurb". PS, heres the diamond that lay underneath, just needs a little cleaning Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/22545-finallymy-car-arrivesyea/#findComment-191845 Share on other sites More sharing options...
