I had Chat GPT clear up the picture:

^ WOW!

I wonder how close / if that's really what their faces look(ed) like...

Also, my guess is the car is about twenty years old there...

Wow.

I'd guess the stone washed denim was phased out by the late 80s, and the unlaced high tops were a thing through the late 80s also.

Looks to be no hood stripes?
AI technology is incredible

They’re floating in the air.

Definitely looks like 80's era... lots of time for the door gap/alignment to get bad ; )

The OG photo looks a lot like John Platania w/mustache (SSL78),during the 1980's standing in front of his home here in West Chicago.
The cleaned up photo does not.

That is correct, the picture was shared by John Platania on FB and was taken in 1985.

I believe John Platania owned N579568 a Hugger Orange with black stripes car that was sold out of Jack Douglas Chevrolet. I've never seen the car in person and don't know it's current whereabouts.

My records and the syc registry shows 9N579568 is a rally green car. Ed's list had it as a 72-72.
I don't have a picture of the tag....

Very close to the VIN of my old Yenko Camaro from 1972, HO, that IS NOT on the list.
