The 1972 Coupe
Not sure what to say about the '72. It has a new timing belt & head gasket, but thanks to a harsh blow laid by a hammer in the hands of my former spouse, it's parked under a tarp with a new dent in the door, a broken out left rear quarter window and a smashed windshield. It's not a pretty site.
On the other hand, the car has a few things going for it. For instance, when I bought it in 2000 (a $150 investment, btw), it had relatively newly installed carpet over a virtually non-existant floor. I cut out what was left of the old floor and fabricated and welded in new flooring . This included extensive repairs to the frame rails on both sides. Also, I bought this car from the original owner (...or, at least, his brother who was hanging onto it out of some kind of sentimental hope to give it a good home).
