Default Re: 1969 l78 Convertible Califonia Desert Car

Unbelievable! Glad someone like yourself got this jewel, because it appears from your list of cars that you have an appreciation for originality and leaving the car "as found" except for getting it drive-able and safe. It would be a sin, IMO, to fluff such an interesting car and the back story is priceless...wish it were me placing this original post! Good luck. One last observation: I have seen a fair amount of heavily optioned 69s from "the day" and find it amazing that many of those have no D80 (spoilers) and standard wheels. I understand the wheels because of the aftermarket availability. I imagine the spoiler idea was probably not accepted by many as it was a fairly new item on a car and public opinion had not 'caught on'to the idea.
