    It has been wrecked in the front. it does not take a body man with a trained eye to see the front fender wood does not match the rest on either front fender and the color is off just a shade as well, wood is darker on the fenders and the paint is lighter.

    My new 1981 Futura had the chrome rectangular gauges. TBirds 1982 Cougar has them as well. The Villager decor package had even nicer goodies. I may be wrong, because I've never seen a Villager model, up close and personal, but it doesn't look right.

    Looks like the pictures were taken at a body shop. May have been rebuilt from a partial wreck. Nothing wrong with that, as long as it was done correctly............

    Also, the privacy tint looks very dark. In fact, in some of the photos, it almost seems photoshopped in.....

    If it was done by a bodyshop, why does the engine bay look like doggy-doodoo,
    Someone spray painted the radiator clamps black and didn't even take them off or mask it. and look at the shock towers...and they sprayed the air cleaner... [​IMG]

    Oh man, I just watched that poor person dying over and over. Tragic and heartbreaking, not funny.

    I'm sorry I will remove it from my post.
    I thought it just clipped the edge of the truck, but Fat Tedy will have to edit his own message.

    Done deal Andy(y)

    I never took it as funny, a double shocker and can clearly see how it could be more up setting to others.
