I bought this car because of it's wild yellow interior. I love it more today than the day I bought it. It will get some use after MCACN but not that kind of miles. People don't respect them the same. I drove that car everywhere. It was a daily driver in 1982. At work, it had to sit in the street all day...365 days a year...Joe

Naw! I had three 6" rally wheels & 3 F70-14 white pin striped tires that came with the car but the rallys were off another car so this was my best guess as to how Orielly Chevrolet rec'd it. In the 10 months Orielly had the car they probably decided to ditch the yellow wheels & install the rallys from another car. The second owner removed the yellow bumper because he liked chrome. He kept the bumper which I got at purchse time....Joe

Being as detail-focused as you are, I'm sure you'll end up with a great match on the interior colors Joe. Gotta admit I like the old look with the slotted wheels on the car. Maybe a restored set after you've debuted the car?

The car is looking great man!!!

Despite daytime temperatures being between 111 & 116 degrees, I still try to get things completed. The glass shop finally came & installed front & back glass. I installed the newly polished original stainless. Installed antenna mast & found a YOM license plate with "396" on it. Been doing lots of little things like cleaning grounds & making sure all the light work. First time I hooked up the battery cables, I jumped a little because I had the door open & the key in the ignition. Set off the key buzzar. Hasn't worked in all the years I've owned it...Joe

I hope you plan to shoot a "feature" of sort when this is finished Joe. It is just lovely!
