Chasing a 40...

[Crusha]

Pretty much all original, 1975, only 45k miles.

Wish me luck!

That's the best possible color but it needs wider whitewalls.

I have a four inch paint brush at the ready!

 

[Crusha]

One must also note bezel position. Speaks volumes...

 

[joabmc]

What a find! Good luck.

Love everything about it. The color, the white walls, the mud flaps, perfect.

Hope he didn't cut the rear tub for those goofy flares. I hate that! Good luck!

Got to get those flares off. Mine had them as well. Mustard is def the best color.

Those flares screw in to the rolled lip inside the wheel well. Shouldn't have been cut.

I think the flares are the only thing non stock.

I’ll have more info after lunch tomorrow. It will either be on my trailer, or I’ll be grumbling “Holy shiznit!”

 

[76FJ40]

We need more pics.

Nice find, what's your plan for this cream puff?

 

[Crusha]

Not mine yet, if I do end up with it, it’ll remain as found.

 

[iptman]

That's a heck of a time capsule. Any engine shots?

 

[Crusha]

In front of the 40 now, at an auction, little more surface rust than in the photos.
Still very solid, it was repainted in factory color 30 years ago. Looks like factory undercoating underneath, a lot of which is peeling and flaking. Lot’s of surface rust underneath as well.

Still giving it a shot.
