Congrads... sounds like a great project. Im knee deep in my '67 that had a
similar history (got parked in '80)
and on the grounds my '69 A-100 camper had a 'chicken' issue, you have no
idea how glad you should be about the last statement.

> Hi, folks --

> I got my '66 Coupe delivered via flatbed this weekend and took a good

"I'll
> take it!" Persian white with black leather and black vinyl top, hence
> "Flying Penguin".
>
> Good stuff --
> Odometer reads 29,xxx, does not appear to have rolled over
> Last registered in 1975
> Has been in covered storage since then, no sun damage
> Dash pad, wheel, headliner and visors are perfect
> All interior trim present and intact except rear cigarette lighters
> Leather is dry but not worn or torn
> All wood present except one triangle on dash
> 4 matching wheel covers
> Rear air and T&T
> Perfect body except right front quarter panel needs replacing (damaged
> pulling car out of chicken coop)
>
> Challenging stuff --
> No motor
> Left vent window broken, as in may have been stolen (have replacement
> window)
> So dusty you can't tell the vinyl top is black
> Needs full repaint and rechrome and new carpet (dry rot)
>
> I'll put before photos on the OIC site in a few days and see if I can dig
> up some provenance info. First sold on Van Ness Ave. in San Francisco,
> according to the license plate frame. The 1972 registration IBM punch
card
> is in the glove box (which is also perfect), and there are some extremely
> fragile 30-year-old credit card receipts in the compartment below the
> driver's side arm rest . Did I mention I paid $600 for the car?
>
> P.S. There were no chickens in the coop with the coupe. Whew!
