My dad and I acquired this 1969 RSSS L78 about a year ago. I thought I’d share progress and pictures with everyone!
Restoring the car in our garage!
Car has original motor and was originally an automatic. Got converted to a 4 speed very early on.
Fathom green with a black vinyl top and green deluxe interior.
Options: Tilt, U14 gauges, fold down seat, 8 track player, and rear antenna.
Car was repainted at some point in the 70s and hasn’t been painted since. Car was last on the road in 1982. Going to keep the black paint but interior is getting redone. The front end has been powder coated and the floors painted. A lot of original parts are getting rezinc plated. Restoring it original or with a little day 2 vibe.
We started with wet sanding and buffing the old paint job. Someone had put black primer all over it!
Then redid the whole front end and underside of the car. We cleaned, rebuilt, and repainted the rear end.
Now we are focusing on the interior!
