Yeah, there's one up in Stockton CA just like that. It wasn't worth the
effort of whipping out my cell phone to take a picture.

I think those are the optional rally II wheels, only available on 4/1/66.

They spent so much money on the wheels and paint that they apparently couldn't afford an interior. The interior structure is obviously showing.

I wonder which brand of candy will have its logo painted on the side.

I have a 4WD truck that has less lift than that. I just don't get what people see in doing that to a car.

There's someone in my neighborhood who has an early coupe body jacked up on a 4X4 chassis. While a firm advocate of the "do what you want... it's your car" theory, I still can't help but shake my head every time I drive by and see this one parked aside their garage.

Look at it this way guys, every time one of these idiots get ahold of one of these cars, it makes the ones that are left just that much more valuable.
