Fantastic and cool looking car! After my parents divorced in 78-79 my dad bought a used one with the same color combination.

Bill... believe it or not, I do have room to walk around the front of the car. It's only 10" longer than a '69 GP. 😬

This was a cool surprise included with the car. I'm assuming this was Bob's shop coat from back in the day.
