This is giving up its heart, for Elway. 1970, one owner, 49K miles. Problem is, it sat outside for 15-20 years. Also, the 4 piston calipers are going on Elway.

Tell her its for her!! Imagine cruising in the evening, with the sunroof open, and Grand Funk blasting from the factory 8 track player!!! The interior is pretty damn nice, and the carpet looks like new. Uphol is white, pleated. Wrap around back seat. Roofline is so low, I can't sit in the back seat, upright.
