It's time to grill . . . .

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Wow. Was this car owned by a teen-ager?

 

Oh my God! I'm guessing there wouldn't be any records. It's a shame..series one car in nice color combo too. That sunroof, assuming original, has got to be rare for a 1975, no?

 

Too much damned black.

Good to see they have a California Duster.

 

If I can read the serial number from the fuzzy picture, its a Series 1 GT4 10178 or 10478 (maybe 10179).

Original Parts: Dino nose badge, HUB CAPS???????????????

To bad the original wheels are painted black.

If those are original hub caps, the car may be worth it just for those (well, ok, not completely, but they are rare indeed).

It appears to be in Scottsdale AZ, any FChatters in that area care to take a look?

James in Denver

 

oh my God, I'd thought I'd seen it all.

Oh my, it just hurts to look at it.

I'm speachless, and that doesn't happen very often.

I swear, as I'm typing this I'm shaking my head and trying to comprehend this car.

 

Why do I have the funny (and sick) feeling that all the bizarre and disgusting cars are going to start coming out of the woodwork now that the weather is getting decent...

 

I live in the area... I wish I knew someone looking for a project car. As ugly as it is, it can be fixed. I hope the sunroof is original or that would be a concern. If it is real, it would indeed be rare as I thoguth only the later cars had sunroofs...?? The speaker has to go...

 

Problem is, what do you do with the gaping hole left between the rear seats?

 

Maybe you could get that on the rear shelf above the speaker, then you'd have the best of both worlds!!!

 

That is 10178 which was originally a black/tan New Mexico car.

Nope, those are 246 Dino hubcaps, not 308GT4 hubcaps.
I have a set of original series 1 wheels and hubcaps for sale if anyone is looking for a set.

 

are you sure those are 246 hubcaps? i don't see bolt holes.

 

they look like the ones on my gt4 but painted

 

I'll look again....had a bit of wine at the winery tonight.

 

Well you know now that I look a bit closer you're right. No holes. Thanks for pointing it out. Sorry, as I said we had a big event at the winery tonight.

Those are series 1 hubcaps that have been painted. I'll bet the owner doesn't know they are worth $200 each without the emblems. I've never seen a set for sale WITH the emblems.

 

You take out the seat and replace the damage and you have an upholstry shop match and replace the affected upholstery panels... Ebay the wheels and put on some 14" cromodora stars... put on some Euro bumpers... Spend a little dough on the interior and you're in business. At some point do the paint and get rid of the stupid horse emblem on the nose and also scratch the side markers..... This car really isn't that bad....

 

Has someone chopped out the body to fit that homemade bumper or is that how USA cars are under the impact bumpers?

That thing gives Allan-Lambo ammunition!

 

I dont know where to start with this car but what happened to the front bar?and the centre A/C vent doesn't look original either

 

And T speed rated tyres (tires) by the look of things..... 118MPH Should be V rated.

 

That's what I thought (sunroofs on later cars only) too. Dstacy do you know? Dstacy?....someone check the wine celler for Dstacy.

 

This car is worse than the pimped out 1980's Mercury Grand Marquis I saw this past wk around town.....
