Steve, send it to Texas. We'll take care of the aging of that red paint..........

[/ QUOTE ] Tim, I'm sure that the Texas sun would do wonders in making the paint "appear" original LOL.

Especially if Tim and I drove it around to get some rock chips. I'd be happy to store it in the Garajamjal so we can do that! Better than driving it in that snow up in Chicago!

Steve, we're only concerned about your best interest.....

I love survivor cars. Original paint is a must in my book to be considered a true survivor. I own a #'s matching L78 Pace Car that I would consider a survivor car. Some on this site have questioned how well it has survived but it is what it is. Very rust free, 63K miles, original paint, original drivetrain, original interior. I replaced some of the consumable parts, the carpet, exhaust and added the correct smog. Other than that just about everything else is original. Even the hood insulation. I did paint the exhaust manifolds.....I couldn't help myself. You can't tell by looking at it but it's been completely and correctly gone through mechanically. I differentiate between restoring and repairing. I don't think any of the things I've done compromise it's survivor status. At least I hope not. JMO.

Great Pace Car, L78 automatic. Wow......
Probably optioned similar to the actual one. I think it was a JL8, L89 automatic.

Thats a nice car Rick! I would even wipe down the inner fenders,subframe, motor compartment, firewall etc. with WD40 or Boeshield and a rag.

Also I like to use the old KIT or Rally wax. They seem to bring up the old lacquer paint better than the newer base coat clear coat wax. A soft tooth brush and a "little" compund may remove some of those off color rust areas on the paint. Keep it original, its a nizzze car!
