Those are high windshield seats and headrests, not the super spendy 67.5 units. Still a nice find.

Friend sent picture of a Barn find yesterday in Youngstown NY, near Niagara Falls. Looks like a 1970 from the rectangular fender light. I'm trying to get the vin for the registry.

Ugh. Did Batman get out of it?
Hey, everybody's got to start somewhere. I used to drive my parts car, "Eliza" around while it was (mostly) bright yellow and missing bumpers, a top, and the top half of the passenger's quarter panel. But when you're sitting in the driver's seat, you don't see any of that!

Edit: That is a LOT of lights on the front of that "Batman" car, though.

What!? I DIG IT! What wheels are those? They look like they might be a cap or part of another wheel over a steel wheel? Either way, I think they're great and work perfect on the car. Fender mounted side view mirrors give it a look. I have no problem with the lights up front, and we share the black dot headlights which I personally like a lot... so, I think it's got some attitude. Add a strong motor and the right sound and away we go! Honestly, I'd take its looks over the previous FJ20 turbo batmobile above (cool motor of course, but the body is just... mmmm, not my taste).
