Does it come with a mower deck attachment?
Might make yard work a bit more bearable, and probably has an almost zero turn radius!

This stuff,was commonplace in the late 70's.Best one I remember,a blown small block Chev,on alky.55 Chev wagon,middle doors missing,tubbed.Started really loading up,in traffic.He took a side street,while surging and bouncing the tires up front.Acted like a nasty gasser.

I think that was originally a 4 door.
The doors are the back doors.
It's not really a convertible, it just has the top cut off.

take the yellow one, give it a nice paintjob, and I bet it would be fun to cruise around in.
...not to be seen in, but cruising around might be ok.

Like fat broads and mopeds. Both fun to ride, but you wouldn't want to be caught in public with them.

If the 350 was replaced with a modern hybrid drive it would sell. Looks a heck of a lot better than a Smart Car.

According to the seller, the shop that he took it to for the installation of the convertible top and windows,
this is where I got the convertible idea from, right in the article,
73 EE where is that yellow slotted thing you have a picture of? Lawrence
