Kinda sad when bad info gets out on any fmj car as they struggle enough as it is. Nothing top notch about that car. That car was no more then a perfumed up old personalized driver with semi rough original paint/stripes and some new lenses and a few pieces of new trim.

Being a base RR and a 360 car some it would be a good start to a nice car.

But consider the semi rough org. paint/stripes. The matches nothing restitched interior. The added after sale t tops poorly installed. The chrome peeling bumpers. The warped plastic interior panels (look at a pillar covers in first pic). Added non correct rear spoiler and many more things that make it just a ok driver quality car. Just a pigged up old driver quality F body that some flippers have rolled the dice on a few times looking for that one sucker. Probably worth the 20 or less in todays world as it would be easy to make it more oem without much money spent and would be a easy car to do a real resto on.

if it was running and driving. look at the line on it. doesn't look like trim or former police markings to me. looks like a water line to me. was that lot flooded?

It doesn't have any signs that its not an ahb. The dirt looks like thd normal stuff from sitting stopping at thd body line curve. I'd say that's an OK price if it's complete and doesn't have any major rust issues but need to see a lot more of it for that price. They're almost impossible to find now.

installing a Grinder for the, Watervliet Arsenal. Wish I could show you pictures inside manufacturing. Place is massive and very busy. They particularly make things like high caliber recoilless rail guns, tanks, mortars and Howitzers. Been operational since the war of 1812. Our oldest Arsenal/armory.

What it is, is highly classified and on a need to know basis.
Very Likely. This is a scrap piece they gave me to run a demo on. I did legit see a 20’ cannon barrel on a cart; with an orange flag saying “BANG” hanging from barrel like a bugs bunny cartoon, lol got a good laugh out of it.

The war machine is turning boys. I’m supplying some of the gears.

Reminds me of my electrical engineer dad. The company he worked for, until we got the bleep out of California in 1975, had government contracts. When asked what project he was working on, all he could say is it was for the military, since it was for national security and was top secret. To the day he died in 2021 he still said the same thing, in case it was still classified.
