What a fantastic original car.
I would paint the wheels, paint or rechrome the bumpers, repair the grille, get it sorted mechanically and then use it only when it does not rain.
In my opinion it would be a shame if it would be restored, look at that fine interior. It even has not been robbed of its engine by Aston Martin thiefs.

That is lovely, great base for a restoration being so original and complete.
I wonder what the story is behind it being off the road since 1966?

I was only reading about that 5 mins ago Smile

Reminds me of a fixed head version I found, dumped behind shops close to where I first stored the Dodge in the mid-1990s.
