Great looking vert, possibly with no reserve?
TONS of pics!!  ...but you better take a good look at the underside before considering this one.

Outside looks very nice, interior could use some help but not bad.

The underside makes me question what may be under that nice paint thought.....

Very nice color combo. I agree, the underside has lots of problems!
Worth the bid.

Looks like a lot of filler in the quarters. Some of the lines are a bit off and not as crisp.
Did anyone else notice the passenger side ventiport?

Good eye Loren!
Has a Special front bumper too.
What is "L" for the paint color?

"L" is for Midnight Aqua Poly. A real nice color, but that is not what is on this car. It's a dark blue/green metallic.
Similar to my Roadmaster, Mark.

I saw the bumper also, just thought I would see if anyone else caught the less obvious reversed ventiport.

This looks like a car I saw in Milwaukee some years back! the aqua is a rare color
on the gs and a white interior to boot with a tilt wheel :hello2:. the body tag shows that it is real if it is a numbers matching that is a plus! and convert too!
Looks like it needs frame work and floors and lower quarters. Did you see the purse hook on the dash? speakers in the door panels :nono:

If I were a betting man....   I would bet that it's had some ugly rust "repair" done to it and then painted.
The underside is too ugly for the body to have not had real issues and if you look at the messy engine compartment it looks like any repairs and maintenance was limited to what keeps it moving and looking good when you cruise.
