Bloody newbie photos

Here's El Rey. I'm the third owner and have been looking after it for over 5 years now. I have since removed the wheel arch trims and replaced the wheel covers with unpainted mirror polished stainless steel originals for a little 'classic bling' It looks great with the Astral Silver and chrome

The interior is in showroom conditition with only the addition of a leather steering wheel cover, zeb wood shifter and ash tray.

Welcome!

El Lobo!! We have a strong Texas membership. Start a new thread and show us your car! We love pictures. What color? How is the condition? Do you have any projects to do for restoration?

Oh Excellent !! I will get some pictures up is a few days and after some family leave town. My car is Red and is in excellent condition, all original. It was originally from California and then went to Ohio. It had a lot work done in ’99 and ’00. (several Peach Parts receipts, so PO is most likely on this forum ) My brother bought it in ’03 I think, and I got it from him in 2005. I keep it garaged. I need several little jobs right now (locks just went out, driver window doesn’t go up all the way(motor OK), want a few wood window trims.) Nothing major right now … knock on wood!!!
