Nice car...but no way these really pulling $50k in this condition...maybe in any condition?

That's funny! Not the car, but the place. The pictures were taken at the TV Academy in North Hollywood. I worked there a few years on-call and was going to bring my car there to take pictures in that same spot. I never did, but somebody else did.

Yeah...that's a decent driver - maybe a third of price or less. the 74-76 cars are the least appreciated front end style. The owner didn't even paint the replacement lower grill filler molding - left it black. The strip of black above the bumper and below the front fascia/grill area. That molding was made of an early type of urethane/endura and they crumbled to dust after 20 years or so.

Did you mean 74-75 Steve? The '76 is actually quite nice and clean, with no bumper strip. As to the featured car, yeah, that asking price is a pipe dream.

Yeah, I guess the 76 is the second most unappreciated after the 74-75. :-)

No, I gotta think 79-81 comes in at that position...ugh
