Maybe the coolest "before and after" photos I've ever seen !
I'm thinking 70's with the Gregg Allman hair styles.... Hope the guy on the left didn't nurse that beer for 50 years .. |

Would have been even more cool if it was the same car in both pictures.

My now deceased neighbor bought his friend's '73 Vette....they used to ride to HS together in it, and, had he not died, would still own it today. He probably had 15 or so classic cars at the high point, but that and a later acquired T-bucket were the two he enjoyed the most, the two he kept in his own garage. The others were stored in a warehouse.

Similar here. My high school bud bought this Lemans around 73 and kept it all these years. Ended up storing it for many years during a military career. Several of us still keep in regular contact. When I went back about 10 years ago, we hooked up for lunch and showed it to me in a storage facility and was basically a pieces of shit- with plans on a restore. About 5ish year back he did, Body off strip down to a million pieces. Did a great job and as I recall, made it into a magazine |

My take too. I would bet 1968--1972. The flat-bottomed two piece steel with aluminum top and bottom can was of that era right before the all aluminum can came in about '75, and the clothes and hair scream '68-'72 Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. Very cool indeed, IMO. Looks like a '32 Ford.

That hood is worth $$$ to anybody restoring a '73 GTO. Those cars were big boats and underpowered, but were great road cars. Still are. Very cool.
