MC1of80 Posted March 26, 2022 Posted March 26, 2022 A 72 with the ultra, super duper, extremely rare, 1 of none, opera window option! Wooooooff!!! 1 Quote
Leghome Posted March 26, 2022 Posted March 26, 2022 I did not notice those opera winders when I first saw the photo YUCK Quote
cbolt Posted March 26, 2022 Posted March 26, 2022 That would be a fun one to pull out and fix up just to hear everyone complain about the opera windows. Totally worth the time and effort, at least in my opinion. Also, I would love to know what is sitting beside it, some kind of mopar. Can anyone ID that car just from that tail light? Coronet perhaps?

The car next to it is a 2 door 68 sport satellite. Quote
Dtret Posted March 26, 2022 Posted March 26, 2022 That car is a collector item. Don’t you know a prototype when you see one? Is it for sale? Quote

willie Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 I think it's different! Not sure i like them. I also noticed the mopar, thought it was a GTX. Quote

The opera windows were a option generally seen in 71 for the caprice and impala... they were installed in this car when the vinyl top was put on... I just never removed them because the top was in perfect condition when I restored the car in 2001. This time around I’m probably going to remove them because the top finally went bad. Honestly I’m not looking forward to restoring the car again. It was absolutely beautiful when parked in 2009 but life took priority over the cars. I never cancelled the insurance or registration in the 13 years it has been sitting just to remind me It’s patiently waiting.. 5 Quote

Michael Boyte Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 She should polish right up . I bet a wash job and a few hours with the buffer would turn out a very welcome surprise ☺️ Quote
MC1of80 Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 Nice to see her in the light of day! Can't wait to see her cleaned up. Keep the pics coming. Quote
Glen Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 Ditch the ‘SS’ emblems the same time you deep-six the opera windows. Quote

When I painted the car in 2001 my buddy as a joke stuck the SS emblems On with some emblem adhesive.. the adhesive burned into the clear coat so I stuck them back on to cover the ugly. Quote
