Well, here's a pick of mine pretty soon after I bought it. This was after all the black paint fell off. They never sanded the primer, so all the paint peeled off, kind of like a bad sunburn. Add that to the 14" American Racing rims, and you've got quite a ride. No mufflers either, and timing was at a healthy 3 degrees before TDC. It sat for four years on the side of the road down in the "south side". I rescued it for a sum of $350, refinished a spare set of rims dad had myself, tuned up the engine, headers, Performer intake, carb rebuild, dual exhaust (with mufflers this time), and it now serves daily driver duty for me at High School. When the weather warms up I will take some after pictures of it.

p.s., the rims are for sale if anyone's interested.

Yeah, every time I wash it more paint just comes off, lol. It was really addicting once I started peeling, just like peeling a sunburn. It was really cool on the flat parts, the whole hood came off in one sheet of paint. I'm probably going to shoot it Satin Primer Black this spring before I leave for the Academy. I'm certain they'll keep me busy for a while up there, but eventually I would like to restore it. I did all the work on the white chrysler myself, starting when I was about 12. I painted it last winter out in the shop, did all the prep work and shot it too. So, I'll be sure to post some more on it later once I get the TA cleaned up.

the car can't have the correct wheels to be considered a true redneck car

There we go, I consider this a little redneck. Third gen rims, 3 different kinds AND sizes of tires, 4 different color interior(blue, black, red, silver a little), red hood, one T/A fender, one Esprit fender, spray painted seats, cats used it for a litter box, only 2 headlights, weird seat covers, most wires cut under the dash, no lights work at all including brake lights and stuff... yeah the list goes on.
