    No kidding, that driver seat is shot. The rest of the interior doesn't match the driver seat though.

    There might be a derby not far off in this one's future.

    Should not have that rust for a Denver car.

    My '73 was the same way regarding the seats. When I got the car, the front seat was pretty much shot while the second and third seats were in very good condition. Just a function of the fact that the front seat gets sat in every time the car is driven, while the same is not true for the second and third seats.

    With the exception of the faded paint, the car doesn't look too bad. The second and third seat areas look exceptionally nice. Can't tell much about options other than it has A/C, apparently tilt-wheel (but no cruise control?), and power tailgate. Can't tell for sure, but the top of the dash does not look to be cracked.

    The fading of the upper half of the wood grain on the doors and the rear quarter in this photo is consistent, I think, with much time spent in the sun. This could support the idea that it has been a Denver car all its life.

    I'm beginning to see why my Grandfather used to put a blanket or whatever on his car seats. I think I've inherited his mentality on maintaining cars to some degree.
