Welcome! Post your location and yes, please post pictures of your project. Any more backstory on how, where and why it was under water??

98 flood in Cibolo texas, a friend owned a z car shop, it was his personal project, stripped for paint, when flood hit, they lost a millon plus of customers cars, he pushed this to the side and never got back to it, amazing the radio still plays, i even thought about a rustomod. This was raced, it had atleast 1 rebuild, never bored, this looked like almost a mustang green, there are pics on inet of one only found that pic ,i have a pinterest, under Rocky Hamilton, im the rocky with the eagle icon. I have no top fot it ill add it someday, ill try to up load pic i found this is a pic of what it DiD look like new...

Here is what she looked like

The car looked good when new. By the way the side marker and turn signal lights say 1970 and not 1969, unusual as its normally it's the other way around. Back in the day, on some cars, if a dealer didn't sell it during its model year it could be registered as the current model when sold.

Yes i did find the green one , it took me about a year and a half to find what it would of looked close to, mine was built 10/68....its a 69 model ser # 7971, it was purchased in Nebraska, and still has a airforce parking sticker on the bumper, i figure he got back Vietnam and needed to amp up alittle.

super neat color!!!
