Where to begin with this car? First...WTF happened to the roof?!?! This is by far one of the most rotted out G3 roofs I have ever seen. And it also looks to me...for some odd reason the full windows were converted to the Coach windows, and a (half) Landau roof was put on. it's not the first 73 I have seen/heard about with Coach windows, but it's still odd. This is a donor car, at best. Too bad it so rotted out, because it's all there.

Feel free to put in your own $0.02 about this f'ed machine.

The last two cars the local yard shipped in from CA with Landau tops had rust-through underneath. As bad or worse than I've seen on local MN cars. Is it the ocean's salty moist air that attacks them? Even the SS door panel badge is bleeding rust. Unbelievable!

Wow. affraid I suspect it has just been sitting a loooooooong time. It snows alot in parts of CA. Maybe the car was up in the Sierra Nevada's or just sat and got rained on for years.

It's just been open to the elements for a while, I've got some gauges from a SD car that have the same issue.

Nothing a BUCKET of Bondo wouldn't fix. My favorite part is the last picture of what this car should look like.

Some bondo, some tinfoil, some paint, good as new!

funny thing is, I think I've seen that last car in person, belonged to a guy I met years ago by the name of Chris.
