I saw a car like that in down town Utica last week. I didn't get a good look, it could have been the same car.

Gone but not forgotten:

hm, now I have to see if I can find one of those digital gauge packs to retrofit in the Continental where the ash tray is. No useful instrumentation exists on that car, but digital gauges wouldn't be a horrible mismatch visually.

I have been searching suntune gauges for the past 5 or so years on ebay as much as I can. I cant say Ive seen one in that time. They are neat. I'll let you know if I see one pop up.

Good restoration project. Would not take too much work.
I'd replace the tail light, corner, and beat the trunk out enough to not break the new tail and run it. If that car was down here... I might be tempted. I've been thinking of trying to find a project box, but there's nothing down here currently in the immediate area that isn't priced to the moon.
