The real reason the wife won't let him keep it is the naked lady mural on the hood scoop!
That mural looks like something I would have painted in high school art class.
Too bad it wasn't kept in better shape. Looks like it lived outdoors for a while. Cool picture with the big CB radio antenna on the rear bumper.
There has to be a lot of high end 70's/80's street machines and show cars stowed away. I remember the ones that had a lot of chrome and multicolored lacquer paint jobs.
Some of those had so much money put into them I can't imagine someone would leave them sitting in the elements. Would be cool to see some of those unearthed and resurrected at some of the shows. It's a bit of history.
